China Dolls

Don't be so hard on yourself You gave it all you had It's something inside you Petrified you Try not to feel so bad Don't be so hard on yourself The game is cruel and tough You had a straight And a couple of aces But it wasn't quite enough That's the way it goes Some you win and some you don't Some you sing and hopes get broke Like china dolls, like china dolls Delicate and beautiful Look at their purple, look at their purple eyes Your stepfather's on the phone He wants to know if you're coming home He's sick of you always getting stoned With your china dolls And your china dolls Delicate and beautiful Don't be so hard on yourself We know that you tried Gave em' some love and a Couple of doves But they didn't wanna fly That's the way goes Some they fill your heart and soul Some they treat you so damn cold Like china dolls, like china dolls Delicate and beautiful Look at their devil, look at their devil eyes The police are on the phone They want to know if you're coming home God, I wish that your mother had never sold Those china dolls, those china dolls Delicate and beautiful Oh, your china dolls those china dolls China dolls, those china dolls
