| 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 | |
