[Verse 1] I've been contemplating suicide But it really doesn't suit my style So I think I'll just actboredinstead And contain theblood I would've shed
[Pre-Chorus] She makes mefeel so ill at ease My heart is really on its_knees But_I_keep a poker_face so well That_even mother couldn't tell
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 2] I keep her photograph against my heart For in my life she plays a starring part All alcohol and cigarettes There is no room for cheap regrets
[Pre-Chorus] 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 mother couldn't tell
[Chorus] 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
