Paper doll come try it on

Step out of that black chiffon

Here’s a dress of gold and blue

Sure was fun being good to you

This one we made just for fall

And winter runs a bit too small

This mint green is new for spring

My love didn’t cost a thing

You’re like twenty-two girls in one

And none of them know what they’re running from

Was it just too far to fall

For a little paper doll?

Fold a scarf moroccan red

And tie your hair behind your head

Strap into some heels that hurt

You shoulda kept my undershirt

You’re like twenty-two girls in one

And none of them know what they’re running from

Was it just too far to fall

For a little paper doll?

Cut the cord and pull some strings

Make yourself some angel wings

And if those angel wings don’t fly

Someone’s going to paint you another sky

You’re like twenty-two girls in one

And none of them know what they’re running from

Was it just too far to fall?

Was it just too far to fall?
