Mannequin

(album: One Of The Boys - 2008)

How do I get closer to you
When you keep it all on mute?
How will I know the right way to love you?

Usually the queen of figuring out
Breaking down a man is no workout
But I have no clue how to get through to you

I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knocking on wood
Hoping there's a real boy inside

'Cause you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you're not a man

I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in and make you talk
Even pull a string for you to say anything

But with you there is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch of broken parts
And I can't seem to find your heart

I'm such a fool, I'm such a fool, I'm such a fool
This one's outta my hands
I can't put you back together again

'Cause you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you're not a man

You're just a toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy
And understand?
But you're not a man

If the past is the problem
Our future could solve them
Baby
I could bring you to life
If you let me inside
Baby

It'll hurt, but in the end
You'll be a man

You're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real

Toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy?
Understand
But you're not a man

You're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you're not a man
