I'm just a girl, you're just a boy This is my heart, it's not a toy So what's with you playing with my mind We used to be cool, this used to be love Now it's become, something like a job Like it or not, maybe things were changing right before our eyes I tried to be a picture perfect girl But you were in your own fantasy world Tryna control me like some kind of Barbie But that just ain't me Cause I ain't a doll, this ain't a dollhouse You're way too old to be, puttin' me down like this And playing around like this I ain't a doll, this ain't a dollhouse No, I could never be, stuck living life like this Behind these four walls, cause I ain't a doll You call the shots, right down to my shoes I liked what you liked cause you told me to And I don't think that you could even tell I fell out of love, but it never showed I gave up on us so long ago But you'll never know Baby don't pretend like you know me so well I tried to be a picture perfect girl But you were in your own fantasy world Try to control me like some kind of Barbie But that just ain't me I ain't a doll, this ain't a dollhouse You're way too old to be, puttin' me down like this And playing around like this I ain't a doll, this ain't a dollhouse No, I could never be, stuck living life like this Behind these four walls, cause I ain't a doll I'll never be made of plastic So glad that my heart's elastic No matter what you do I'll bounce back offa you Cut me but I'm not bleeding I tried to be a picture perfect girl But you were in your own fantasy world Tryna to control me like some kind of Barbie But that just ain't me I ain't a doll, this ain't a dollhouse You're way too old to be, puttin' me down like this And playing around like this I ain't a doll, this ain't a dollhouse No I could never be, stuck living life like this Behind these four walls, I ain't a doll And I come with imperfections Epitome of perfection If you can't understand, loving the way I am Then you're no good for me, so glad I kept my receipt
