[VERSE 1:]
I`m a wind up toy
In an up-down world
If you leave me all alone
I`ll make a mess for sure
I`ve a heart of gold
In the smallest size
Leave me in the dark
You never hear me cry
[PRE-CHORUS 1:]
More than an illustration
Points of articulation
Come to life on a brass spring
Such a wonderful plaything
[VERSE 2:]
Its a cruel cross
That I have to bear
If you come a little close
I`m going to pull your hair
More than just a toy
In a patched blue suit
When you hold me in your arms
I`m just a boy like you
But your momma thought
There was something wrong
Didn`t want you sleeping
With a boy too long
It`s a serious thing
In a grown-up world
Maybe you`d be better
With a Barbie girl
[PRE-CHORUS 2:]
You knew that
I adored ya
But you left me in Georgia
Toys are not sentimental;
How could i be for rental?
[VERSE 3:]
She`s the meanest hag
That has ever been
Pulled out my insides
With an old safety pin
I`m the sorest sight
Now I feel like trash
Clothes are made of rags
And they don`t even match
So she dressed me up
As the man she loved
And threw me in a box
When she had had enough
Now the light of day
I no longer see
She stuck her voodoo pins
Where my eyes used to be
[PRE-CHORUS 3:]
Accidentally tragic
Victim of her black magic
Had a boy once who loved me
Now he`s so afraid of me
[VERSE 4:]
On a long lost day
When you`re grey and old
You`ll be there remembering
Your old toy boy
When your only son`s
Wondering what to be
Tell him the story of
A boy like me
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
