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

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

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

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
