Verse 1
D 
Baby Doll
Em 
E 
Baby Doll is on a trapeze,
Wearing the smile that she never sees,
D 
Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease,
Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease.
E 
D 
Baby Doll
E 
Em 
E 
Time to play Sheba on a wooden stage,
G 
Taking off the clothes
Em 
E 
that are grimy with age,
Rubbing down the skin
that is white and cold,
And the sticking plasters
Em 
that cover up the holes.
E 
Stared at by a man that would do her harm,
Needs to earn the money
D 
that will feed his arm.
E 
He promised you security,
D 
E 
safe and warm, baby doll.
D 
They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside,
The emptiness you try to hide.
E 
Em 
I would melt your eyes
that are glassy and cold,
E 
A nest for the future
D 
when you grow old, baby doll.
E 
He'll never know the
hurt you feel inside,
D 
Or the emptiness you try to hide.
E 
Take a tiny costume from a pile of clothes,
Just a touch of glitter but a lot of gold,
E 
Pick on a failure,
make his knees go weak,
Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak.
He'll wipe a line of dribble
falling from his mouth.
Make your wages later
when you're back
at his house.
Try to hide the mirror,
cos it's never kind.
Kick -start the heart
that's so hard to find.
Try to save the beauty
and to draw the line.
Bite your lip when you find it tough.
D 
Continue to search for a genuine love.
