Paper Heart

You got a paper heart
You're in a cardboard world.
Baby, your paper heart
Makes you a nowhere girl
Paper heart, paper heart...
Each day the wind that blows
Changes the way you feel.
You got a paper heart,
Baby, you're so unreal
Paper heart, paper heart...
You laugh when I cry,
You dance when I'm blue...
So baby good-bye,
This time went through
One day you'll play with fire
And burn 'ere your paper heart,
Leavin' me only ashes,
Ashes of your paper heart.
Paper heart, paper heart...
Paper heart, paper heart...
Paper heart, paper heart...
Paper heart, paper heart...
