Elvis Costello - Shabby Doll Lyrics & Traduction


Giving you more of what for
Always worked for me before
Now I'm a shabby doll

What's going on behind the green elevator door
With just a shabby doll

There's a hit man facing
A compromising situation
With just a shabby doll
And a very neat line
In character assassination
She's just a shabby doll


She's just a shabby doll
She's putting him off and putting you on
She's just a shabby doll
She's just the shabby doll

You're swearing upon you know in your heart
She's gone you know in your heart
She's just a shabby doll


There's a girl in this dress
There's always a girl in distress
She's just a shabby doll

She's so sure she's self-possessed
Then again she's half undressed
She's just a shabby doll

The boy that I used to be
Showed no sign of sympathy
For just a shabby doll
I have betrayed you and me
And paid for my own bribery
With just a shabby doll


She's just a shabby doll
She's putting him off and putting you on
She's just a shabby doll
She's just the shabby doll

You're swearing upon you know in your heart
She's gone you know in your heart
She's just a shabby doll


He's the tired toy that everyone's enjoyed
He wants to be a fancy man
But he's nothing but a nancy boy
He's all pride and no joy


And being what you might call a whore
Always worked for me before
Now I'm a shabby doll

Untie the gag the cat's out of the bag
But won't show his claws
He's just a shabby doll
She said you must be joking
Some things are left unspoken
You're just a shabby doll

He's lying limp and soaking
He was openly broken
By just a shabby doll


She's just a shabby doll
She's putting him off and putting you on
She's just a shabby doll
She's just the shabby doll

You're swearing upon you know in your heart
She's gone you know in your heart
She's just a shabby doll
She's just a shabby doll
She's just a shabby doll
