lyrics

Lately I feel like I’m wrapped up in silk
like I was one of your china dolls
You tighten my robe
and then you twist up my bow
choking me so I’m at your mercy
I think to myself
I’ll get you back.

I can’t get myself together,
you have got me so tied up.
and everyday you tug me harder
so that I can hardly stand at all.
I can’t get myself together,
you have got me so tied up.
but darling you don’t want to play with me
‘cause I’ll get you in the end.
stop me or I’ll get you in the end…

I paint on my face,
try to hide my surprise
at your lies
don’t you know I’m going to catch u
your words seem so cheap
and your eyes full of greed
your promises as empty as that
vessel on your little neck

I can’t get myself together,
you have got me so tied up.
and everyday you tug me harder
so that I can hardly stand at all.
I can’t get myself together,
you have got me so tied up.
but darling you don’t want to play with me
‘cause I’ll get you in the end.
stop me or I’ll get you in the end…

Oh I can’t stop til I get it up
rub rub rub til you’ve had enough
no I can’t stop til you’ve had it all
‘cause I’m your little china doll

I can’t get myself together,
you have got me so tied up.
and everyday you tug me harder
so that I can hardly stand at all.
I can’t get myself together,
you have got me so tied up.
but darling you don’t want to play with me
‘cause I’ll get you in the end.
stop me or I’ll get you in the end…
