Paper Dolls - Corinne Bailey Rae

You have incredible eyes and all the boys will go wild for you

But I was scared in case you made me made do those things

But would you oh would you believe me that I was your fool

Cause I’ve been lying awake at night wondering where you are now And if that

metal turned out right

All my life all my life

I said it’s not right

Nobody told me I could do something

Nobody told me I could be something

Yeah

I have tried I have tried

To say it’s alright

Nobody told me I could do something

Nobody told me I could be something

You wore undoubtable smiles you were divorced from inside they said

But I was disturbed when I heard that it’s not what you preferred It gets to

the point they expected

And who are you to disappoint them anyway

Time will get you in the end

Just when you shook off that regret

Around the corner comes a Mary in a fur coat to talk about it

All my life all my life

I said it’s not right

Nobody told me I could do something

Nobody told me I could be something

Yeah

I have tried I have tried

To say it’s alright

Nobody told me I could do something

Nobody told me I could be something

Many words that have been spoken

Cut me out like paper dolls

Made me into something different

Something I could not dissolve

So far over don’t their words slow ya

All my life all my life

I said it’s not right

Nobody told me I could do something

Nobody told me I could be something

Yeah

I have tried I have tried

To say it’s alright

Nobody told me I could do something

Nobody told me I could be something
