Your Only Doll (Dora)

Lyrics

I fell into the street, poison in my veins
 Clamber to my feet and into the night again
 Back to my home, back to my owner
 Who screams at my tardiness
 Put his hands to the sky
 And says, "What can I do with a girl
 If she refuses to be mine?"
 ♪
 In his bed, I am queen, unobtainable me
 Sexual being, human with feelings
 The two are not me
 The two will not be mine
 "And what can you do with a girl
 If she refuses to be mine?"
 ♪
 Put his hand on my shirt (Hand on my shirt)
 Hand on my face (Hand on my face)
 Head to the wall (Head to the wall)
 When you've broken your only doll
 And what will you do with a girl
 If she refuses to be alive?
 ♪
 And you've broken your only doll
 And what will you do with a girl
 If she's refusing to be alive?
 ♪
 There's a house across the river
 But alas, I cannot swim
 And a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin
 There's a house across the river
 But alas, I cannot swim
 I'll live my life regretting that I never jumped in
 ♪
 There's a boy across the river
 With short black curly hair
 He wants to be my lover and I want to be his peer
 There's a boy across the river
 But alas, I cannot swim
 Now I never will get to put my arms around him
 ♪
 There's a life across the river
 That was meant for me
 Instead, I live my life in constant misery
 There's a life across the river
 But I do not see
 Why I should please those who will never be pleased
 ♪
 There is gold across the river
 But I don't want none
 There is gold across the river
 But I don't want none
 Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
 Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
 There is gold across the river
 But I don't want none
 I would rather be dry than held up by a golden gun
 Saying work more, earn morn, live more, have more fun
 Saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
 Saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
