Paper Doll
By Johnny Black 1915

I guess I've had a million dolls or more
I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er
I just quarreled with Sue, that's why I am blue
She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do
I'll tell you boys it's tough to be alone
And it's tough to love a doll that's not you own
I'm through with all of them,
I'll never fall again
'Cause this is what I'll do.

I'm goin' to buy a Paper Doll
That I can call my own.
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then those flirty, flirty guys
With their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies
That are real.

When I come home at night
She will be waiting,
She'll be the truest doll
In all the world
I'd rather have a Paper Doll
To call my own,
Than have a fickle minded
Real live girl.

When I come home at night

She'll be the truest doll

I'd rather have a Paper Doll
To call my own,
Than have a fickle minded
Real live girl.
