Coin Operated Boy

Coin-Operated Boy

Artist: The Dresden Dolls

Album: The Dresden Dolls

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 gelore

Many shapes and weights to choose from

I will never leave my bedroom

I will never cry at night again

Rug 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, 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 a girl getting bitterer

Will you extract me from my plastic fantasy

I didn't think so

But I'm still convinceable

Will you persist even after

I bet you a billion dollars

That I'll never love you

And will you persisit 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'm losing

My confidence I want a

I want a

I want a

I want a

I want a

I want a

I want a

I want a

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

Would be his match

I can even take him in the bath

Coin operated boy

He may not be real

Experieced with girls

But I know he feels

Like a boy should feel

This is not 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
