You called for me so here I am Not a boy and not a man Man enough to know the odds are long They dress you up and keep you clean Like courtiers around a queen Show you good from bad, right from wrong All the tears in the world All the tears in the world Won't mend a broken doll The little things in life escape her Dolls are made of rags and paper China cracks and chips so easily Doesn't have the will, the strength To hold the world out at arm's length Skin's too thin, eyes too wide to see All the tears in the world All the tears in the world Won't mend a broken doll Wish I could give love to you And life to you and hope to you As you look through me to something else In your face I think I see Twisted-up infinity Angel soul imprisoned in a shell All the tears in the world All the tears in the world Won't mend a broken doll
