Mirror of Love

The speaker describes loving someone who repeatedly treats her badly. She recognizes his cruelty and faults, yet her feelings soften what she sees. The lyrics move between anger and devotion: she calls him rude and unfaithful, but still insists she would choose him over anyone else. This tension suggests a relationship that feels both painful and hard to leave.

The “mirror of love” is the central image. It suggests that affection changes the speaker’s view: when she looks at her lover through love, he seems “alright,” and she forgets how badly he behaves. Calling him a “dream lover” contrasts with the descriptions of him as cruel and mean; it may show the gap between the partner she wishes for and the one she actually has. “I would kill for you” is likely an emphatic way of expressing intense loyalty, not a literal plan.

The song can be heard as a comic, exaggerated portrait of devotion, but its words also point to a troubling imbalance. The speaker sees the harm clearly, so her attachment is not simply based on ignorance; still, she repeatedly excuses it. The lyrics do not explain why she stays or whether she truly believes he is “the best man” she has had. That claim may express genuine affection, self-persuasion, or both.
