BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Dollhouse lyrics

rate me

Well ever since you were a little girl

You set the rules in your little world

But girls grow up and throw their toys away

You're a big girl now but you still wanna play

(Girl we're living)

You dress them up the way you want to

(Girl we're living)

You make them do just what you want them to

(Girl we're living)

Once I thought we had a love that was true

But I'm just another doll in your dollhouse to you

We're living in a dollhouse

We're living in a dollhouse

Girl we're living in a dollhouse

You may feel safe and sound

But your dollhouse, girl, is falling down

It's all been neatly arranged in your mind

Every detail fits your own design

Every room is perfectly in place

But I can see the sadness, baby, on your face

You had a plan and darling like a child

You thought it's down to fashion, down to style

But your little dreamhouse is runnin' wild

Before your very eyes we're shrinking down to size

We're living in a dollhouse

We're living in a dollhouse

Girl we're living in a dollhouse

You may feel safe and sound

But your dollhouse, girl, is falling down

Everything's as you dreamed it would be

But there's something wrong that you can't see

Room by room you keep looking for some little flaw

A crack somewhere in your dollhouse wall

Something, girl, that will explain away

The hurt you feel, darling, when we play

Your little dolls they got grip on you

Until you're just another doll in your dollhouse too

We're living in a dollhouse

Girl, we're living in a dollhouse

Oh we're living in a dollhouse

We may feel safe and sound

But our dollhouse, girl, is falling down

Oh we're living in a dollhouse

Girl, we're living in a dollhouse
