coin-operated boy
sitting on the shelf
he is just a toy
but i turn him on
and he comes to life

automatic joy
that is why i want
a coin-operated boy
made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
i will never leave my bedroom
i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....

coin-operated boy
all the other real
ones that i destroyed
cannot hold a candle to my new boy and i´ll
never let him go
and i´ll never be alone

and i´ll never let him go
and i´ll never be alone(go)
and i´ll never be alone(go)
and i´ll never be alone(go)

and i´ll never be alone

not with my coin-operated boy
this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture
of girl getting bitter-er
can you extract me
from my plastic fantasy
i didn´t think so
but i´m still convencinble
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that i´ll never love you

and will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying?
to prove it
i´m dying
to loose it
i´m losing
my confidence
i want it
i want it
i want it
i want it

i want you
i want you
i want you
i want you
i want you

i want a
i want a
i want a
i want a

coin operated boy

if i had a star to wish on for my life i can´t imagine
any flesh and blood could be his match
i can even take him in the bath
coin operated boy
he may not be real
experienced with girls
but i know he feels
like a boy should feel
isn´t that the point?

that is why i want a coin-operated boy
with a pretty coin-operated voice
saying that he loves me
that he´s thinking of me
straight up to the point
that is why i want a
coin-operated boy.
