Baby doll is on her trapeze |
|
Wearing the smile that she never sees |
|
Thinking of dollar as she tries to tease |
|
Time to play |
|
Sheba on a wooden stage |
|
Taking off the clothes that are grimy with age |
|
Rubbing down the skin that is white and cold |
|
And the sticking plasters that cover up the holes |
|
Stared at by a man that would do her harm |
|
Needs to earn the money that will feed his arm |
|
He promised you security safe and warm |
|
He promised you security safe and warm |
|
They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside |
|
The emptiness you try to hide |
|
I would melt your eyes that are glassy and cold |
|
And as for the future when you grow old |
|
Baby doll |
|
Baby doll |
|
They'll never know the hurt you feel inside |
|
The emptiness you try to hide |
|
Take a tiny costume from a pile of clothes |
|
Just a touch of glitter and a glow of gold |
|
Pick on a failure make his knees go weak |
|
Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak |
|
He'll wipe a line of dribble falling from his mouth |
|
Make your wages later when you're back at his house |
|
Try to hide the mirror 'cause it's never kind |
|
Kick start the heart that's so hard to find |
|
Try to save the beauty and to draw the line |
|
Baby, baby, baby doll |
