About Mirror Mirror

"Mirror, Mirror" is a 1981 rock-styled hit song recorded by American superstar Diana Ross, released as her second single on the RCA label. The song, written by Dennis Matkosky and Michael Sembello, and produced by Ross herself, was the second release from her Platinum-certified album, Why Do Fools Fall in Love. The song talked of a love lost that the singer was going through and her deliberately asking herself while looking in the mirror why she allowed the love "to fall" apart, referencing the Wicked Queen's chant to the Magic Mirror in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: "Mirror, mirror on the wall". "Mirror Mirror" became another smash for Diana, reaching #2 on the Soul chart and peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 It became her second top 10 hit after leaving her longtime label, Motown, in the summer of 1981. The music video was played on BET but rejected by MTV. It showcased the glamorous diva lip-synching the song and during the break, she danced with the video dividing her in double vision as she spun around. Despite the rudimentary production values, it was an early BET favorite. However, it was conspicuously left off her best-selling VHS - and later DVD - compilation "Visions Of Diana Ross". more »

Mirror, mirror on the wall
You said you had the answer to it all 
You never told me I'd take a fall 
Mirror, mirror on the wall

You have turned my life 
Into a paperback novel
Words that came to life 
Inside your little melodrama
Chapter one: When I was young, 
I came to you with my problems
Chapter two: You promised me 
Love and anything that I desired

Tell me mirror, mirror, 
Mirror on the wall
Thought you said 
You had the answer to it all 
Never told me 
I was gonna take a fall 
Tell me mirror, mirror, 
Mirror on the wall

You have nailed my heart 
Upon the wall for your pleasure
You have cast a spell 
That cannot ever be broken
and now my eyes grow tired
I watch my picture getting older
But I remain the same
Trapped in this mirror forever.

Tell me mirror, mirror, 
Mirror on the wall
Thought you said 
You had the answer to it all 
Never told me 
I was gonna take a fall 
Tell me mirror, mirror, 
Mirror on the wall

I talk to you each night
and I follow your advice
You've been wrong
What's the price I have to pay
For this fairy tale thing called love
Let me go

Tell me mirror, mirror, 
Mirror on the wall
Thought you said 
You had the answer to it all 
Never told me 
I was gonna take a fall 
Tell me mirror, mirror, 
Mirror on the wall
