lyrics

I’m Real:

I ain't no doll no baby I’m real
I talk when you didn’t mean to pull the string
Still there’s no point you don’t seem to hear
I don’t ever look like a walking coat-hanger
I turn my back on all that glamour
And if I get stuck in the cupboard all day
I cry and say I want attention
I ain't no doll no baby I’m real
I’m not on display just to show you where you’ve been
Like the other trophies on the mantlepiece
By now you must have heard the news
There’s someone here who’s been misused
Then you come home with a great idea
I am not going to move to Stepford
I ain't no doll no baby I’m real
I’m so real, that’s how I feel, so real
You’ve got to do your best to please me
Because you see I ain't no doll
I don’t think you’ve really noticed that I ain't, I ain’t no doll
I don’t have to put up with this because you see I ain't no doll
I ain’t no baby I’m real
But still you paint my face and dress me up
You can’t put me away now I’ve burned my box
Snap your fingers and you want me to come
To lift you up when you feel glum
Pick me up put me down I’m just a toy
For you to use and then put aside
That’s what you think?
Goodbye...
©Armstrong
