baby learns to crawl
watching daddy's skin
learns to fall
get up again
baby learns to cry
watching mama's smile
in the mirror
can you hear her

baby learns to swear
with your hair
learns to love
watching tv
baby learns to cope with
what she sees
in the mirror
don't go near her (nearer?)

baby learns to hide
down on your knees
learns to pray when
somebody sneezes
baby don't you say you love me
in the mirror

one last crushing blow
a final crashing bore
and it's always time to go
as you're inching to the door
(let's go)

baby learns to live
watching daddy's life
baby learns to give
everything away
baby learns to cry
it's alright
in the mirror
baby learn to crawl
watching daddy's skin
baby learns to crawl
watching daddy's skin
