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 choose 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 destroyed
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
not with my coin-operated boy
this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture
of girl getting bitter-er
can you extract me
from my plastic fantasy
i didn't think so
but i'm still convincable
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that i'll never love you
and will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying?
to prove it
i'm dying
to loose it
i'm losing
my confidence
i want it
i want it
i want it
i want it
i want you
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
if i had a star to wish on for my life i can't imagine
any flesh and blood could be his 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 up to the point
that is why i want a
coin-operated boy.
