The mirror on the wall it tells no lies
   And oh I don't like what I see
   I see a woman there I watch her as she cries
   And the woman isn't really me
  
   But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around
   Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free
   I need to feel you put your hands around me
   Day in, day out it's the same old story
  
   You're out there on your own
   Is he worth the price you pay
   Got you in his chains
   Will he set you free someday
  
   I wish I didn't feel this way I can't get nothing done
   And all I want to do is go to sleep
   Though I lie in bed for hours I cannot close my eyes
   And lonely days turn into lonely weeks
  
   But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around
   Look for you, tender, hold me, set me free
   I need to feel you put your hands around me
   Day in, day out, it's the same old story
  
   You're out there on your own
   Is he worth the price you pay
   Got you in his chains
   Will he set you free someday
  
   Every now and then I think things might be all right
   And I think I see a light beyond the door
   Just as I approach it disappears again
   And everything seems darker than before
  
   But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around
   Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free
   I need to feel you put your hands around me
   Day in, day out, it's the same old story
  
   You're out there on your own
   Is he worth the price you pay
   Got you in his chains
   Will he set you free someday
