I'm preserving myself with make-up
Lookin' in the mirror
I'm preserving my life, I can take it
Shinin' in the spotlight

Preservation, lookin' in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it all off
Every night

I'm reserving my rights, reputation
Livin' in a movie, it's keepin' me lookin' right
When the secret is out to the public
Seein' is believin', they still wanna be me at night
When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder
But that's alright

Preservation, lookin' in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it off
Every night

They're linin' up to make their entrance
When the word's out I'm in town, they're not nice girls
But that's alright
They're lookin' so much better when the lights go down
But nice girls is just a frame of mind

Preservation, lookin' in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it off
Every night
