I'm gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellas 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'll be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real-life girl

I tell you boy, it's tough to be alone
And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own
I'm through with all of them
I'll never fall again
'Cause this is what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellas 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'll be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real-life girl
