Katy Perry: One Of The Boys Lyrics

Mannequin

Mannequin:

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 the man is no work out

But I have no clue

How to get through to you?

I wanna hit you just to see if you cry

I keep knockin' on wood

Hopin' 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, 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 'em, baby.

I could bring you to life,

If you let me inside, baby

This'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,

A 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
