The Dresden Dolls – Coin Operated Boy

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

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
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, 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
Oh, can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
I didn’t think so but I’m still convincible
will you persist even after I kiss you
Goodbye for the last time will you be trying
to prove it, I’m dying
To lose it, I’m losing my confidence
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to
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

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 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 and to the point that is why
I want a coin operated boy
