Preservation Lyrics - Nazareth

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
