You tell my friends I'm crazy
Got the nerve to think it's smart
You disregard the damage you do to my whole heart
You don't know, you don't know
I'm not a plaything
(I'm not a plaything)
Like your forgotten teddybear
I guess I've lost my charms
But when he leaves you stranded girl, you'll come back to my arms
It hurts me so, 'cause you don't know
I'm not a plaything
(I'm not a plaything)
Whoa, why must you abuse you me?
Yes you do because you can
You never make an effort to try and understand
That I love you
Yes I do
(That I love you)
(I'm not a plaything)
One of these days the table's gonna turn
'Cause when you play with fire
You're surely gonna get burned
Do you know, how it feels, to be a plaything?
(To be a plaything)
He'll deceive you (he'll deceive you)
Then he'll leave you (then he'll leave you)
Make you cry (make you cry)
Say goodbye (say goodbye)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
He'll deceive you (he'll deceive you)
Make you a plaything (make you a plaything)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
