<br>

I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own<br>

A doll that other fellows cannot steal<br>

And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes<br>

Will have to flirt with dollies that are real<br>

<br>

When I come home at night she will be waiting<br>

She'll be the truest doll in all this world<br>

I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own<br>

Than have a fickle-minded real live girl<br>

<br>

I guess I had a million dolls or more<br>

I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er<br>

I just quarrelled with Sue, that's why I'm blue<br>

She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do<br>

<br>

I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone<br>

And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own<br>

I'm through with all of them<br>

I'll never ball again<br>

Say boy, whatcha gonna do?<br>

<br>

I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own<br>

A doll that other fellows cannot steal<br>

And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes<br>

Will have to flirt with dollies that are real<br>

<br>

When I come home at night she will be waiting<br>

She'll be the truest doll in all this world<br>

I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own<br>

Than have a fickle-minded real live girl<br>

<br>
