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 destroy

Cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I'll

Never let him go and I'll never be alone

Never let him go

And I'll never be alone - go (x11)

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 im still convinceable

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 to

I want you (x15)

I want a (x5) 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 his 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.
