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 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 | 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 im still convinceable | will you persist even after i bet you | a billion dollars that i'll never love you | will you persist even after i kiss you | goodbye for the last time | will you keep on trying to prove it? | i'm dying to lose it | i want it
i want you | i want a coin operated boy
and if i had a star to wish on | for my life i cant imagine | any flesh and blood could be his match | i can even take him in the bath
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 his 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.
the dresden dolls.
