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
