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 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 (she's just a shabby doll) She's just the shabby doll (she's just a shabby doll) You're swearing upon, you know in your heart (she's just a shabby doll) She's gone, you know in your heart (she's just a shabby doll) 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 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 (she's just a shabby doll) She's just the shabby doll (she's just a shabby doll) You're swearing upon, you know in your heart (she's just a shabby doll) She's gone, you know in your heart (she's just a shabby doll) 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 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 (she's just a shabby doll) She's just the shabby doll (she's just a shabby doll) You're swearing upon, you know in your heart (she's just a shabby doll) 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 She's just a shabby doll
