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?
And she makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I wear a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
And 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 keep her photo against my heart
Cause in my life she plays a starring part
All alcohol and cigarettes
There is no room for cheap regrets
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I wear a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
But 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
down my spine
down my spine.
