I've been contemplating suicide
But it really doesn't suit my style
So I think I'll just act bored and stare
Contain the blood I would have shed
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even my mother couldn't tell
That 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 photograph against my heart
For in my life she plays the 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 keep a poker face so well
That even my mother couldn't tell
That 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
Spine
Spine
