[Verse 1]
I've been contemplating suicide
But it really doesn't suit my style
So I think I'll just act bored instead
And contain the blood that I would've shed

[Pre-Chorus]
She makes me feel so ill at ease
My heart is really on it's knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell

[Chorus]
That 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
'Cause 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 it's 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

[Chorus]
Ooh, 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
Ooh, down my spine
Down my spine
Down my spine
