Lyrics
China Doll
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.
She's sweet like honey
Sour like democracy
She don't want your money
She needs your sympathy
She'll be your greatest lover
But she doesn't belong to you
She's unlike any other
She doesn't belong to you
Oh, she's your china doll
She's patient, but won't be for long
She's hopeful, but time's running low
She's gone before you know
She's the alarm bell ringing
She's your latest fix
The fat lady's singing the truth and not some trick
Oh, she's your china doll
She's patient, but won't be for long
She's hopeful, but time's running low
She's gone before you know
Before you know
Before you know
Before you know, you know
She's sweet like honey
Sour like democracy
She don't want your money
She needs your sympathy
