Coin Operated Boy

The Dresden Dolls The Dresden Dolls

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 what 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 destroy
Cannot hold a candle to my new boy
And I'll never let him 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 bitterer
Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy?
I didn't think so, but I'm still convincible
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 lose it
I'm losing my confidence

I want it
I want you
I want a
Coin operated boy

And 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 what I want

A coin operated boy
With a pretty coin operated voice
Saying that he loves me
That he's thinking of me
Straight and to the point
That is what I want
A coin operated boy
