Paper Doll
Embracing Love's Illusion: The Tale of a Paper Doll
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
A doll that other men cannot take away from me
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Describing men who flirt with playful eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
They will need to flirt with real women instead of my paper doll
When I come home at night she will be waiting
Upon returning home at night, my paper doll will be patiently waiting for me
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
She will be the most faithful and genuine doll in the world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
I prefer having a paper doll as my own rather than a capricious real girl
Than have a fickle minded real live girl
Choosing a stable paper doll over an unpredictable real-life girl
I guess I had a million dolls or more
Reflecting on having had countless dolls in the past
I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er
Repeating the cycle of playing with dolls over and over
I just quarreled with sue, that's why I'm blue
Admitting to a recent quarrel with someone named Sue
She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do
Sue, like other dolls, has left him after the disagreement
I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone
Expressing the difficulty 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 fall again
Committing to never fall in love again
Say boy, whatcha gonna do
Asking a friend what he plans to do in a similar situation
I'm gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own
Reiterating the intention to buy a paper doll for personal companionship
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
A doll that cannot be taken by other men
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Describing men who flirt with playful eyes once again
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
They will need to flirt with real women, not paper dolls
When I come home at night she will be waiting
Upon returning home, the paper doll will faithfully wait
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
Reiterating that the paper doll is the truest and most genuine
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Preferring a paper doll over an unpredictable real girl
Than have a fickle minded real live girl
Emphasizing the choice of a stable paper doll for companionship
