Tried to bend your kneecaps and they shattered Tried to move your legs but they bolted your joints together And the more you tried, the more you knew This had been the way they’d built you In the body of a ball-jointed doll You’re so fragile, you can’t move at all But I just want to touch you And I promise I won’t break you If you would be my doll just for a day Then I would put you back into, back into your case Pieced your limbs together with chalk-ware skin Painted the cupid’s bow above your lips You’re so beautiful but so delicate The porcelain cracks up your back and neck In the body of a ball-jointed doll You’re so fragile, you can’t move at all But I just want to touch you And I promise I won’t break you If you would be my doll just for a day Then I would put you back into, back into your case
