Lyrics: 
 
Last round 
Looks like I'm in for a fight 
Knocked down 
There is nowhere left to hide 
Stick 'n' move 
When I try to run away 
Old one two 
I only end up face to face   
 
Mirror mirror getting clearer 
 
Chours: 
It's just me and my shadow 
Dancing round the ring 
I try to fight it 
But then how can I win 
When I'm only shadow boxing 
 
Time out 
I'm looking for a 
Standing eight 
No doubt  
My inside has come out to play 
Bob 'n' Weave 
 
It's conscious of my 
Every move 
Been deceived 
Can no longer ignore the truth 
 
Mirror mirror getting clearer 
Split decisin blur my vision
