Little Doll


Is my shirt and shorts okay?

What should I eat for lunch?

Can you pick my shoes for me?

I’m just a little doll.

 

Hey, Can I hold your hand?

How about a game?

Please don’t ever leave me.

I’m just a little doll.

 

Of course, you can hug me.

Yes, you can doll me up.

A kiss? I don’t know, but,

I’m just a little doll.

 

You won’t leave me alone, right?

I’m sorry, am I too much?

Am I annoying? Sorry, I’ll be quiet.

I’m just a little doll.

 

Do you think of me a lot?

Is your room cleaned how you like?

Tell me what to do next,

I’m just a little doll.

 

Please, let me hide in your shadow.

I’ll be cute and quiet like you like.

I’ll doll in that girly dress again, okay?

I’m just a little doll.

 

Please don’t raise your hand to me.

But please do, if you’ll stay.

Be cruelly kind to me.

I’m just a little doll.

 

What do you think of me?

Do you love me like you say?

I need you to need me because,

I’m just a little doll.

 

I’ll do whatever you say.

I’ll sleep in your room again.

Please, I can’t live without you.

I’m just a little doll.

 

“A pretty, little doll of a boy,”

Mama told me that,

“It’s dangerous to be by yourself;

You’re just a little doll.”

 

So, promise you won’t leave me, okay?

Hold my hand and I’ll obey.

I won’t mind the blood or bruises.

I’m just a little doll.
