The Dresden Dolls - Coin Operated Boy lyrics

Coin operated boy

Sitting on the shelf

He is just a toy

But I turn him on and he comes to life

Automatic joy

That is why I want

A coin operated boy

Made of plastic and elastic

He is rugged and longlasting

Who could ever ever ask for more?

Love without complications galore

Many shapes and weights to chose from

I will never leave my bedroom

I will never cry at night again

Wrap my arms around him and pretend

Coin operated boy

All the other real ones that I destroy

Cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I'll

Never let him go, and I'll never be alone,

And I'll never let him go,

And I'll never be alone, go,

And I'll never be alone, go,

And I'll never be alone, go,

And I'll never be alone, go, and I'll never be alone,

Not with my coin operated boy

This bridge was written to make you feel smitten

And with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer

Oh can you extract me from my plastic fantasy

I didn't think so but I'm still convincible

Oh will you persist even after I bet you

A million dollars that I'll never love you

And will you persist even after I kiss you

Goodbye for the last time, will you be trying

To prove it I'm dying

To lose it, I'm losing my confidence

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it,

I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to,

I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you,

I want a, I want a, I want a, I want a

Coin operated boy

And if I had a star to wish on

For my life I can't imagine

Any flesh and blood could be this match

I can even take him in the bath

Coin operated boy

He may not be real experienced with girls

But I know he feels like a boy should feel

Isn't that the point?

That is why I want a coin operated boy

With a pretty coin operated voice

Saying that he loves me that he's thinking of me

Straight and to the point, that is why I want a

Coin operated boy
