"Babydoll White" lyrics

See me
See me

Babydoll White
Pulls a big breast out of nowhere
Holds on tight
Because her life is going nowhere
Bites her lip from inside
Because she's something to hide

Oh and the silent tears go pitter-patter, pitter-patter
And the talk of childhood years doesn't really matter

She says "I've sewn you in my clothes
Baby, I've tied you in my laces
I've dyed you in my hair
So I won't lose you when I'm naked"
She clings like bitter pain
But I would die if she let go

Babydoll blue
Wears a dark face in the moonlight
Her furrowed brow
Says her mind is not made up right
Sits alone in a room
Where the sun comes too soon

And the silent tears go pitter-patter, pitter-patter
And the talk of college years doesn't really matter

She says "I've sewn you in my clothes
Baby, I've tied you in my laces
I've dyed you in my hair
So I won't lose you when I'm naked"
She clings like bitter pain
But I would die if she let go

She bites the fingernails of the hand that feeds her
And laughs behind her back
Gets everything she needs from the smile that feeds them
An umbilical made of coins

Babydoll White has an eerie little franchise
Works at night, so her friends won't shine in her eyes
Keeps a man on the shelf
'Cos she can't love herself

And the silent tears go pitter-patter, pitter-patter
And the talk of English years doesn't really matter

She says "I've sewn you in my clothes
Baby, I've tied you in my laces
I've dyed you in my hair
So I won't lose you when I'm naked, naked, naked..."
She clings like bitter pain
But I would die if she let go

And she won't phone you when you're home...
She won't phone you when you're home...
No she won't phone you when you're home...
