[Verse 1]
How do I get closer to you
When you keep it all on mute?
How will I know the right way to love you?
Usually the queen of figuring out
Breaking down a man is no workout
But I have no clue how to get through to you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, I want to hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knocking on wood
Hoping there's a real boy inside
[Chorus]
But you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you're not a man
[Verse 2]
I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in, make you talk
Even pull a string for you to say anything
But with you, there is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch of broken parts
And I can't seem to find your heart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, I'm such a fool, I'm such a fool, I'm such a fool
This one's out of my hands
I can't put you back together again
[Chorus]
Because you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
You're just a toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy and understand?
But you're not a man
[Bridge]
If the past is the problem, our future could solve them, baby
I could bring you to life if you let me inside, baby
It'll hurt, but in the end you'll be a man
[Breakdown]
Because you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real, oh
Toy...
Could you ever be a real, real boy?
Understand that you're not a man
[Chorus]
But you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you're not a man
