Soft Cell - Baby Doll lyrics

Baby doll is on her trapeze Wearing the smile that she never sees Thinking of dollar as she tries to tease Time to play Sheba on a wooden stage Taking off the clothes that are grimy with age Rubbing down the skin that is white and cold And the sticking plasters that cover up the holes Stared at by a man that would do her harm Needs to earn the money that will feed his arm He promised you security safe and warm He promised you security safe and warm They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside The emptiness you try to hide I would melt your eyes that are gla**y and cold And as for the future when you grow old Baby doll Baby doll They'll never know the hurt you feel inside The emptiness you try to hide Take a tiny costume from a pile of clothes Just a touch of glitter and a glow of gold Pick on a failure make his knees go weak Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak He'll wipe a line of dribble falling from his mouth Make your wages later when you're back at his house Try to hide the mirror 'cause it's never kind Kick start the heart that's so hard to find Try to save the beauty and to draw the line Baby, baby, baby doll Continue your search for a genuine love Continue your search for a genuine love Baby, baby, baby doll
