Lyrics for Poor Little Plaything

Poor little plaything Victim of a world blasé Poor little plaything Has a broken heart today She met the right kind of fellow Whose blood ran bluer than blue But she was like a toy to him Interesting when new Poor little plaything Didn't seem to realize She was a gay thing He was just a phony guy So when the novelty ended He left her lonesome and blue This poor little plaything Didn't have her dreams come true Poor little plaything Didn't seem to realize She was a gay thing He was just a phony guy So when the novelty ended He left her lonesome and blue This poor little plaything Didn't have her dreams come true
