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 a 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 chose 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

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

Go, and i'll never be alone

Not with my coin-operated boy



This bridge was written

To make you feel smitten

Or with my sad picture of girl getting bitter 

Or can you extract me 

From my plastic fantasy

I didn't think so 

But i'm still convinceable

Will you persist that after i bet you 

A billion dollars that i'll never love you

And will you persist that after i kiss you 

Good-bye 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 it i want it i want it

I want to i want to i want to i want to

I want you 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 

Or 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 

Lke a boy should feel

Isn't that the point

That is why i want

A coin-operated boy

With a 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
