I'm preserving myself with make-up Lookin' in the mirror I'm preserving my life, I can take it Shinin' in the spotlight
Preservation, lookin' in the mirror Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it all off Every night
I'm reserving my rights, reputation Livin' in a movie, it's keepin' me lookin' right When the secret is out to the public Seein' is believin', they still wanna be me at night When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder But that's alright
Preservation, lookin' in the mirror Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it off Every night
They're linin' up to make their entrance When the word's out I'm in town, they're not nice girls But that's alright They're lookin' so much better when the lights go down But nice girls is just a frame of mind
Preservation, lookin' in the mirror Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it off Every night
