Baby doll is on her trapeze |
|
Wearing the smile that she never sees |
|
Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease |
|
Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease |
|
She's thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease |
|
Baby doll, baby doll |
|
Baby doll, baby doll |
|
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 |
|
She stared at by a man that would do her harm |
|
She 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 |
|
They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside |
|
The emptiness you try to hide |
|
Baby doll |
|
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 lot of gold |
|
Pick on a failure, make his knees go weak |
|
Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak |
|
Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak |
|
Mouth open, eyes wide |
|
Mouth open, eyes wide |
|
Baby doll |
|
He'll wipe a line of dribble running from his mouth |
|
You make your wages later when you're back at his house |
|
You try to hide the mirror 'cause it's never kind |
|
You kickstart the heart that's so hard to find |
|
You try to save your beauty and to draw the line |
|
You bite your lip when you find it [Incomprehensible] |

Baby, baby, baby doll |
