China Dolls

Don't be so hard on yourself
 You gave it all you had
 It's something inside you
 Petrified you
 Try not to feel so bad
 Don't be so hard on yourself
 The game is cruel and tough
 You had a straight
 And a couple of aces
 But it wasn't quite enough
 That's the way it goes
 Some you win and some you don't
 Some you sing and hopes get broke
 Like china dolls, like china dolls
 Delicate and beautiful
 Look at their purple, look at their purple eyes
 Your stepfather's on the phone
 He wants to know if you're coming home
 He's sick of you always getting stoned
 With your china dolls
 And your china dolls
 Delicate and beautiful
 Don't be so hard on yourself
 We know that you tried
 Gave em' some love and a
 Couple of doves
 But they didn't wanna fly
 That's the way goes
 Some they fill your heart and soul
 Some they treat you so damn cold
 Like china dolls, like china dolls
 Delicate and beautiful
 Look at their devil, look at their devil eyes
 The police are on the phone
 They want to know if you're coming home
 God, I wish that your mother had never sold
 Those china dolls, those china dolls
 Delicate and beautiful
 Oh, your china dolls those china dolls
 China dolls, those china dolls
