Coin-operated Boy Lyrics - Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls

Coin operated boy, sitting on the shelf 

He is just a toy but I turn him on and he comes to life 

Automatic joy that is why I want 

A coin operated boy 

Made of plastic and elastic 

He is rugged and long lasting 

Who could ever ever ask for more? 

Love without complications galore 

Many shapes and weights to chose from 

I will never leave my bedroom 

I will never cry at night again 

Wrap my arms around him and pretend 

Coin operated boy 

All the other real ones that I destroy 

Cannot hold a candle to my new boy 

And I'll never let him go 

And I'll never be alone 

And I'll never let him go 

And I'll never be alone, go 

And I'll never be alone, go 

And I'll never be alone, go 

And I'll never be alone, go 

And I'll never be alone 

Not with my coin operated boy 

This bridge was written to make you feel smitten 

And with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer 

Oh, can you extract me from my plastic fantasy 

I didn't think so but I'm still convincible 

Oh will you persist even after I bet you a million dollars 

That I'll never love you and will you persist even after I kiss you 

Goodbye for the last time will you be trying to prove it, I'm dying 

To lose it, I'm losing my confidence 

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it 

I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to 

I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you 

I want a, I want a, I want a, I want a coin operated boy 

And if I had a star to wish on for my life 

I can't imagine any flesh and blood could be this match 

I can even take him in the bath 

Coin operated boy, he may not be real experienced with girls 

But I know, he feels like a boy should feel, isn't that the point 

That is why I want a coin operated boy 

With a pretty coin operated voice saying 

That he loves me, that he's thinking of me 

Straight and to the point that is why 

I want a coin operated boy
