Paper Dolls - Corinne Bailey Rae
You have incredible eyes
And all the boys will go wild
For you
But I was scared
In case you made me do those
Things
Oh would you
Would you believe me
That I was your fool
Cause I've been lying awake at night
Wondering where you are now
And if that metal turned out right
All my life all my life
I said it's not right
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
Yeah
I have tried
I have tried
It is alright
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
You wore undoubtable smiles
You were divorced from inside
They said
But I was disturbed
When I heard that it's not what you
Preferred
It gets to the point they expected
And who are you
To disappoint them anyway
Time will get you in the end
Just when you shook off that regret
Around the corner comes a
Mary in a fur coat to talk about it
All my life all my life
I said it's not right
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
Yeah
I have tried I have tried
To say it's alright
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
Many words that have been spoken
Cut me out like paper dolls
Made me into something different
Something I could not dissolve
So far
Over
Don't let their words control ya
All my life all my life
I said it's not right
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
Yeah
I have tried I have tried
To say it's alright
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
