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 the 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 knockin' on wood Hopin' 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, 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 Oh, 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, 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 'em, 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 A toy, could you ever be a real, real boy? And 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
