Baby take a walk in toy land
Be my hero play the part
I'm falling down
Hard from salvation
Come protect this China heart
Though my party dress is torn
I still walk and talk
And cry and crawl
And I've got no one on my arm
Well I am just a rumble doll
Now some girls
Are just born lucky
Yeah
They're lucky that's for sure
Well in my soul
I've never felt
That clean though I
I know my heart is pure
Sometimes I feel
Like I know too much, and
Sometimes I feel
Like I don't know nothing at all
But I can still be
Soft to the touch
Well, I am just a rumble doll
Now I don't know how
To unlock the door
To those forgiving words, no I
I just don't understand
'Cause every time
I try to turn that key
It leaves a dark stain in my hand
So measure my intentions
Against my sins
And if you think my name
It should be called
I'll be on the outside
Somewhere looking in
Well I am just a rumble
I am just a rumble
Well I am just a rumble doll
So baby
Take a walk in toy land
Be my hero play the part
I'm falling down
Hard from salvation
Come protect this China heart
