You're a doll Your eyes see all And how do I make you How do I make you How do I make you want to see me? You're so young But your feelings are deep And how do I make you How do I make you How do I make you feel for me You put your head on my pillow And you're fast asleep And how do I make you How do I make you How do I make you Dream about me? Ooh, ooh, baby The world's a wall of ice You're gonna need someone To treat you warm And keep you nice I like the way you dance The way you spin And how do I make you How do I make you How do I make you Spin for me? You put your head on my pillow And you're fast asleep And how do I make you How do I make you How do I make you Dream about me? Dream about me?
