MIKA
- Toy Boy Lyrics / with translationsI'm a wind up toy
In an up-down world
if you leave me all alone
I'll make a mess for sure
I've a heart of gold
in the smallest size
leave me in the dark and never hear me cry
more than an illustration
points of articulation
come to life on a brass spring
such a wonderful plaything
its a cruel cross that I have to bear
if you come a little close
I'm going to pull you hair
more than just a toy in a patched blue suit
hold me in your arms
I'm just a boy like you
But your momma thought there was something wrong
didn't want you sleeping with a boy too long
its a serious thing in a grown up world
maybe you'd be better with a barbie girl
you knew that I adored ya
but you left me in Georgia
toys are not sentimental
how could I be for rental?
shes the meanest hag that has ever been
pulled out my insides with an old safety pen
I'm the sorest sight, now I feel like trash
clothes are made of rags
and they don't even match
so she dressed me up as the man she loved,
threw me in a box when she had had enough,
now the light of day I no longer see,
she stuck her voodoo pins where my eyes used to be
accidentally tragic
victim of her black magic
had a boy once who loved me,
now hes so afraid of me.
on a long lost day when you're gray and old
you'll be there remembering your own toy boy
when your oldest sons wondering what to be,
tell him the story of a boy like me
oooh
oooh
oooh
oooh
oh.
In an up-down world
if you leave me all alone
I'll make a mess for sure
I've a heart of gold
in the smallest size
leave me in the dark and never hear me cry
more than an illustration
points of articulation
come to life on a brass spring
such a wonderful plaything
its a cruel cross that I have to bear
if you come a little close
I'm going to pull you hair
more than just a toy in a patched blue suit
hold me in your arms
I'm just a boy like you
But your momma thought there was something wrong
didn't want you sleeping with a boy too long
its a serious thing in a grown up world
maybe you'd be better with a barbie girl
you knew that I adored ya
but you left me in Georgia
toys are not sentimental
shes the meanest hag that has ever been
pulled out my insides with an old safety pen
I'm the sorest sight, now I feel like trash
clothes are made of rags
and they don't even match
so she dressed me up as the man she loved,
threw me in a box when she had had enough,
now the light of day I no longer see,
she stuck her voodoo pins where my eyes used to be
accidentally tragic
victim of her black magic
had a boy once who loved me,
now hes so afraid of me.
on a long lost day when you're gray and old
you'll be there remembering your own toy boy
when your oldest sons wondering what to be,
tell him the story of a boy like me
oooh
oooh
oooh
oooh
oh.
