I guess we recall the time I looked into your eyes and knew my heart would fall There was no time for second thoughts I had to heed the call Now this house is nearly empty, set loose hanging on the walls And the only thing that still remains now are your paper dolls Paper dolls! That you always used to count Paper dolls! Just to show her love was true Paper dolls! Paper dolls on the walls Paper dolls! You know, only they don't have a crime Just to drive love inside And they know there is no place for me to hide It's so hard to sleep at night I'm here so all alone Just trying to forget But my mind keeps turning back the pages to the day we met Right now all I have for company is one last cigarette And a thousand fears and loneliness that have not faded yet Paper dolls! That you always used to count Paper dolls! Just to show her love was true Paper dolls! Paper dolls on the walls Paper dolls! And the promise to say Only they don't have a crime Just to drive love inside And they know there is no place for me to hide Once there was a time I held you in my arms Like you were being bossy But my darling how it hurts me That you left me standing here Now I count the lonely hours Trying not to shed a tear Paper dolls! Keep on reminding me of things we had so dear Paper dolls! That you always used to count Paper dolls! Just to show her love was true Paper dolls! Paper dolls on the walls Paper dolls! And the promise to say Only they don't have a crime Just to drive love inside And they know there is no place for me to hide Paper dolls! That you always used to count Paper dolls! Just to show her love was true Paper dolls! Paper dolls on the walls Paper dolls! And the promise to say Only they don't have a crime
