Lyrics

When I was away, I needed you so Now coming I'm home to stay I won't wake in the night and reach for you And turn on the light and to my dismay You're not there You're never around or is it me? It's so hard to see I flick off the switch and stare in dark And wait for you to appear You're my all time doll, I'm out of control It's broken my mind, it's not all that you stole You're my all time doll, you're all I adore I'd swear to it now, but I already swore My eyes were blinded by tears But it's all my own fault My lips taste of cruel words My eyes sting with salt Take the way I feel about you And put it in a vault You're my all time doll From near and from far, I've known many a girl Now I'm closing in My heart is beating like a whip on a hide It's raining outside You're my all time doll, I'm out of control It's broken my mind, it's not all that you stole You're my all time doll, you're all I adore I'd swear to it now but I already swore Every time I rant and rail Every time I try and fail Any time I want to quit And say that's the end of it When I stand and start to leave You cool my brow and tug my sleeve You're my all time doll I'm walking, I'm pacing, my heart is racing I swear that clock is running slow It only speeds up for a moment or so Each time it's time for me to go You're my all time doll, I'm out of control It's broken my mind, it's not all that you stole You're my all time doll, you're all I adore I'd swear to it now but I already swore In the far flung cry of a closing saloon On the blank back side of that poisonous moon Tried not to think about you I thought I was immune You're my all time doll You're my all time doll You're my all time doll You're my all time doll
