Lyrics

The lyrics:
You’ve got a nasty habit of doing like I do. I ought to wash your mouth, the words that I taught you. And to add to all the trial of you just being 2, you had to learn from my example and imitate it, too.
 
And I can’t believe I’d say this, but I’m happy for the role you play, Grateful for it anyway. Little mirror man.
 
And when we get it right, you say I’m a nice boy. And then the path in sight is peppered with our joy. But I have to say, it’s just as easy to let the lion roar and I could crush your little spirit like a Cherrio on the floor.
 
So I can’t believe I’d say this, but I’m happy for the role you play, Grateful for it anyway. Little mirror man.
 
And what you don’t know can’t hurt you. And what you don’t see is that you are growing, growing, growing me. Little mirror man.
 
And so we say our prayers, sing our bedtime songs. You know, my greatest fear is your words will not belong. And then I finally see the meaning, the truth this drives me to, that if I want to spark your faith it must be burning in me, too. So I have to say, I’m grateful for you. And I hope you’ll see that you are growing . . Growing me, little mirror man. Little mirror man.
