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 a 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 knocking on wood

Hoping there's

A real boy inside

[Chorus:]

But 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

Cause this one's

Outta my hands

I can't put you

Back together again

[Chorus:]

Cause you're not a man

You're just a Mannequin

I wish you could feel

That my love is real

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

And understand

That you're not a man
