[Verse 1]

I've been contemplating suicide

But it really doesn't suit my style

So I guess I'll just act bored instead

And contain the blood I would've shed

She makes me feel so ill at ease

[Chorus]

Oh my heart is really on it knees

But I keep a poker face so well

Not even mother could've tell

'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

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]

I wear her photograph against my heart

For in my life shе plays a starring part

Of alcohol and cigarettes

Therе is no room for cheap regret

She makes me feel so ill at ease

[Chorus]

Oh my heart is really on it knees

But I keep a poker face so well

Not even mother could've tell

'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
