Mind Of A Toy Another Version lyrics

A puppets motions are controlled by a string
By a stranger they`ve never met
Nod of the head at a pull of a thread
I just can`t say no, can`t say no


When a child throws down a toy
Dolly for girl, drum for boy
When I was new you wanted me
Now I`m old you no longer see


The paint on my face is chipped and cracked
My clothes seems to be getting old
Now you`ve owned me for a few years
Please don`t leave me in the cold


You make me glad, you make me sad
You lock me away when I`m bad
Now you`ve owned me for a few years
Please don`t leave me in the cold, in the cold


When a child throws down a toy
Spite for girl, hate for boy
When a child throws down a toy
I look at you with eyes of blue
But somehow I can`t get through to you
