I've been contemplating suicide
But it really doesn't suit my style
So I guess I'll just act bored instead
Couldn't take no blood I would've shed
She makes me feel so ill at ease
Oh my heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
Not even mother could've told
'Cause my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver
Down my spine
Down my spine
I wear a photograph against my heart
For in my life she plays a starring part
Of alcohol and cigarettes
There is no room for cheap regrets
She makes me feel so ill at ease
Oh my heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
Not even mother could've told
'Cause my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver
Down my spine
Down my spine
