Lyrics

Dollhouse

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Youre a big girl now but you still wanna play

(girl were living)

You dress them up the way you want to

(girl were living)

You make them do just what you want them to do

(girl were living)

Once I thought we had a love that was true

But Im just another doll in your dollhouse to you

Were living in a dollhouse

Were living in a dollhouse

Girl were living in a dollhouse

You may feel safe and sound

But your dollhouse, girl, is falling down

Its 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 its down to fashion, down to style

But your little dreamhouse is runnin wild

Before your very eyes were shrinking down to size

Were living in a dollhouse

Were living in a dollhouse

Girl were living in a dollhouse

We may feel safe and sound

But our dollhouse, girl, is falling down

Everythings as you dreamed it would be

But theres something wrong that you cant 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 a grip on you

Until youre just another doll in your dollhouse too

Were living in a dollhouse

Girl, were living in a dollhouse

Oh were living in a dollhouse

We may feel safe and sound

But our dollhouse, girl, is falling down

Oh were living in a dollhouse

Girl, were living in a dollhouse

Yeah were living in a dollhouse
