Lyrics for Just a Toy
(Page/Robertson) Look at my mouth, a thin painted line Look at my limbs, bent up and bundled in twine Forever, ever mine Form of a tree, shape of a child I wish I could cry, stuck in a permanent smile Forever, ever mine I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy First there was me, nothing but time 'Til he came along, you told me you'd always be mine Forever, ever mine Look at his face, somewhat like mine But look at his nose, you can always be sure that he's lying Forever, ever mine I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy Who needs you A boy-to-be who Needs to be Better than him, worthy of you Given the chance that he had, I know what I'd do Forever, ever mine I call him liar, you call him son If I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run Forever, ever mine Forever I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy
