Lyrics
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 figurin' out
Breaking down a man is no workout
But I have no clue
How to get through to you
Oh, I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knockin' on wood hoping there's a real boy inside
'Cause 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
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
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
'Cause 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
You're just a, a toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy
And understand?
But you're not a man
If the past is the problem
Our future could solve 'em, baby
I could bring you life if you let me inside, baby
It'll hurt but in the end you'll be a man
You're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
A toy, could you ever be a real, real boy
And understand?
But you're not a man
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
