Katy Perry - Mannequin lyrics

Tweet

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 Oh oh oh 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 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 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... '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

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

Oh oh oh
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

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 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...

'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
