Dresden Dolls, The - Coin-Operated Boy Lyrics

Complimentary "Coin-Operated Boy" Ringtone

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 a want 
a coin-operated boy 

made of plastic and elastic 
he is rugged and long lasting 
who could ever, ever ask for more? 
love without complications galore 
many shapes and weights to choose 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 smittener 
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer 
can you extract me 
from my plastic fantasy? 
i didn't think so 
but i'm still convinceable 
will you persist that after i bet you 
a billion dollars that i'll never love you? 
and will you persist that after i kiss you 
good-bye for the last time 
will you keep on 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 his 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
