She fell into my arms, which made me drop the ball
Not sure which mattered more after all
I looked below but can't tell where she'd fall
If I dropped her to catch the next doll
Little did I know after her would come a book
And after a book, a game, but the real hook
Was when the doll became a girl, just a look
Could leave my whole system shook
Does it make you arrogant to always know
How to press my buttons just right so you'll have me?
I'm developing new skills: stare, smolder, lie
Be a shoulder to cry on, a sensitive guy
I'm discovering the power deceit supplies
Stealing back control I thought was mine
Does it make me arrogant to always know
How to press your buttons just right so you'll love me?
What can I say, I was raised on games
Not on the kind of love that stays
I won the game, so where's my prize?
You want to be my trophy, I can see it in your eyes
I won the game, so here's my prize
Congratulations, you traded love for lies
Your desire for comfort is what you'll blame
But comfort and truth are rarely the same
Were you really happy before I came?
At least before me you had no shame
Does it make me arrogant to think I know
How to press your buttons just right so you'll love me?
What can I say, I was wrong that dolls
Ever need me to love them at all
