Plastic Fantasy

Coin operated boy

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!

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, go
and I'll never be alone, go
and I'll never be alone, go
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 I’m still convinceable.
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 loosing, my confidence
I want it, I want it, I want it,
I want you, I want you, I want you
I want a, I want a, I want a, I want a
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.
