Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you get what you want and your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day Just go to the mirror and take a look at yourself And see what that man has to say [Verse 2] Whatever your father or your mother or your, or your wife Judgment you must pass Just go to the mirror and take a look at yourself And tell that man staring back from the glass [Bridge] He's the fella to please, never mind the rest For he's with you clear up to the end You've passed the most difficult test If the man in the glass is your friend [Verse 3] Sit alone like Jack Hornеr, "chisel" a plum And think that you such a wonderful guy But the man in thе glass says you're only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye [Bridge] He's the fella to please, never mind the rest For he's with you clear up to the end But you've passed the most difficult test If the man in the glass is your friend [Verse 3] Sit alone like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum And think that you such a wonderful guy But the man in the glass, buddy, says you're only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye, yeah! Never give up, don't give up The man, the man in the glass The man, the man Look him straight in the eye, yeah Oh, be a man, take a stand Hey, yeah, yeahhhhhh Tell the truth, tell the truth Never give up, huh, never give up Never give up, never, never, never I got to, got to, yeah Never give up, never give up, yeahhhh, hey Never give up, whoa, whoa He's a friend to the end, to the end, to the end To the end, to the end The man is the glass Praise yourself, praise yourself Never give up The man is the glass, he's with you to the end Never give up, don't give up, don't, don't Don't give up, yeah, yeahhhhh, the man Be a man, face the world Your mother, your father and your girl Never give up, do your thing, do your thing Never tell a lie, look me straight in the eye Stand up, huh, stand up, hey hey hey Stand up, I got to, I got to, stand up, yeahhhhh, hey Stand up, stand, stand up, I got tears Tears in my eye, eye, eye, eye I won't lie, yeahhhhhhhhh Never give up
