| Got
myself a cryin', talkin', sleepin', walkin', livin' doll. Got to do my best to please her just 'cause she's a livin' doll. Got a rovin' eye and that is why she satisfies my soul. Got the one and only walkin', talkin', livin' doll. |

| Well
take a look at her hair, it's real [and] if you don't believe what I say just
feel. Gonna lock her up in a trunk so no big hunk can steal her away from me. |
