Katy Perry - Mannequin Lyrics

How do I get closer to you

When you keep it all on mute

How will I know the right way to love you

Usually the queen of figuring out

Breaking down a man is no work out

But I have no clue how to get through to you

I wanna hit you just to see if you cry

I keep knocking on wood

Hoping there's a real boy inside

'Cause you're not a man

You're just a mannequin

I wish you could feel

That my love is real

But you're not a man

I wish I could just turn you on

Put a battery in and make you talk

Even pull a string for you to say anything

But with you there is no guarantee

Only expired warranty

A bunch of broken parts

And I can't seem to find your heart

I'm such a fool, I'm such a fool, I'm such a fool

This one's outta my hands

I can't put you back together again

'Cause you're not a man

You're just a mannequin

I wish you could feel

That my love is real

But you're not a man

You're just a toy

Could you ever be a real, real boy?

And understand

But you're not a man

If the past is the problem

Our future could solve them

Baby

I could bring you to life

If you let me inside

Baby

It'll hurt, but in the end

You'll be a man

You're not a man

You're just a mannequin

I wish you could feel

That my love is real

Toy

Could you ever be a real, real boy?

Understand

But you're not a man

You're not a man

You're just a mannequin

I wish you could feel

That my love is real

But you're not a man
