Paper Doll

I see you with your girlfriends
You dress so much the same
That I can’t tell you from them
Til I call out your name

Were you duplicated without your consent?
Who cut you out, paper doll?

Paper doll, I see through your thin heart
Paper doll, who dressed you up so pretty?
Paper doll, you may not be so smart but
Paper doll -- Oh, you got me, I’m smitten

Each time we go to dinner
You do not eat or drink
Is that how you keep your figure
Your paper-thin physique?

I’d love to love you madly, though we’re incompatible
My two-dimensional paper doll

REFRAIN

You won’t go to the bathroom
Unless your friends do too
And all the guys are laughing
Cause I can’t get close to you

When do you plan to cut free your Siamese friends
And leave with me, paper doll?

REFRAIN

You love to paint your face on
With all that fancy stuff
Then go out with the girls and get wasted
It doesn’t take that much

If that’s what makes you happy
You can drink all I can give
But baby, please be careful
That’s a fragile way to live

Don’t be blown away by looks
That only time will shrivel up
As sure as rain will wrinkle up a paper plane

My pretty picky paper doll
My one and only paper doll
My sweet and lovely paper doll

REFRAIN
