Shabby Doll |
| Giving you more of what for |
| Always worked for me before |
| Now I’m a shabby doll |
| What’s going on behind the green elevator door |
| With just a shabby doll |
| There’s a hit man facing |
| A compromising situation |
| With just a shabby doll |
| And a very neat line |
| In character assassination |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s putting him off and putting you on |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s just the shabby doll |
| You’re swearing upon you know in your heart |
| She’s gone you know in your heart |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| There’s a girl in this dress |
| There’s always a girl in distress |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s so sure she’s self-possessed |
| Then again she’s half undressed |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| The boy that I used to be |
| Showed no sign of sympathy |
| For just a shabby doll |
| I have betrayed you and me |
| And paid for my own bribery |
| With just a shabby doll |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s putting him off and putting you on |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s just the shabby doll |
| You’re swearing upon you know in your heart |
| She’s gone you know in your heart |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| He’s the tired toy that everyone’s enjoyed |
| He wants to be a fancy man |
| But he’s nothing but a nancy boy |
| He’s all pride and no joy |
| And being what you might call a whore |
| Always worked for me before |
| Now I’m a shabby doll |
| Untie the gag the cat’s out of the bag |
| But won’t show his claws |
| He’s just a shabby doll |
| She said you must be joking |
| Some things are left unspoken |
| You’re just a shabby doll |
| He’s lying limp and soaking |
| He was openly broken |
| By just a shabby doll |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s putting him off and putting you on |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s just the shabby doll |
| You’re swearing upon you know in your heart |
| She’s gone you know in your heart |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
| She’s just a shabby doll |
