Paper Doll
Yearning for a Paper Doll's Love: Unveiling the Depths of Louis Prima's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
I intend to purchase a Paper Doll to be my exclusive possession.
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
I want a doll that other men won't be able to take away from me.
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Referring to men who are overly flirtatious, especially with their eyes.
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
Those men will need to flirt with real women since I have my Paper Doll.
When I come home at night she will be waiting
Upon returning home, the Paper Doll will be there, faithful and waiting.
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
The Paper Doll will be the most loyal and genuine companion in the world.
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
I prefer having a Paper Doll over a capricious real-life girl.
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
A Paper Doll's constancy is valued more than the unpredictability of a real girl.
I guess I had a million dolls or more
Expressing having had numerous dolls in the past.
I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er
Repetitive engagement in the cycle of playing with dolls.
I just quarrelled with Sue, that's why I'm blue
Quarreled with Sue, leading to a sad state of mind.
She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do
Sue has left, mirroring the typical departure of dolls.
I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone
Expressing the hardship of being alone.
And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own
It's challenging to love a doll that isn't truly yours.
I'm through with all of them
Deciding to end relationships with all dolls.
I'll never ball again
No longer interested in romantic relationships.
Say boy, whatcha gonna do?
Questioning what the speaker will do in this situation.
I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
Reiteration of the desire to buy a Paper Doll.
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the Paper Doll against potential theft.
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Repeating the description of flirtatious men and their eyes.
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
Those men will have to find real women to flirt with.
When I come home at night she will be waiting
Returning home to a faithful Paper Doll.
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
The Paper Doll is the most genuine companion in the world.
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
Prefer having a Paper Doll over an unpredictable real girl.
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
A Paper Doll's steadfastness is more valuable than that of a fickle real-life girl.
