Paper Doll Songtext
von Scott Walker

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

When I come home at night she'll be waiting
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-life girl.


I tell you boy, 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,
'Cos this is what I′m gonna do

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

When I come home at night she′ll be waiting
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-life girl.
