Paper Doll Songtext
von Kurt Elling

I′m gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellas cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys
With their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real

When I come home at night, she will be waitin'
She′ll be the truest doll in all this world
I would rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl

Well, I guess I've had a million dolls or more
And I guess I've played the doll game over and over
I just quarreled with Sue
Ooh, and that′s why I′m blue
She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do


I tell you boys, it′s tough to be alone
And it's tough to love a doll that′s not your own
I'm through with all of them
I′ll never fall again
Say, boy, what you gonna do?

I'm going to buy me a paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellas cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys
With their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to go flirtin' with dollies that are real

When I come home at night, she will be waitin′
She′ll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
Don′t want me a fickle-minded real live girl
