I'm A Rich Man's Toy Lyrics

I'm a rich man's toy
Sick of the way you've been putting me down
Sick of all your stupid games
I'm a rich man's toy
You're a son of a gun and I'm easily led
Coming up sometimes for air

I'm a rich man's toy
Sick of the way you've been putting me down
Sick of all your stupid games
A toy - when you die they'll burn your bones
But they'll never destroy your remains
You must be the king of the world

I'm a rich man's toy
The duchess envoy said when I was a kid
You'd smack me around on a whim
I'm a rich man's toy
Your boyfriend moved all my things in the hall
- Didn't know you were sleeping with him

I'm a rich man's toy
With powder and make-up
D'you think that I scrub up well?
Watching you wake up
Who's right who's not
Who's gonna get it now that I'm a rich man's toy
What's the matter with me?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with me
Read us the riot act
Or read your cues

Powder and make-up
Watching you wake up
Do you think that I scrub up well
Who's right who's not
Who owes who what
Who's gonna get it now...

I'm a rich man's toy

I'm a rich man's toy
Sick of the way you've been putting me down
Sick of all your stupid games
I'm a rich man's toy
You're a son of a gun and I'm easily led
Coming up sometimes for air

I'm a rich man's toy
Sick of the way you've been putting me down
Sick of all your stupid games
A toy - when you die they'll burn your bones
But they'll never destroy your remains
You must be the king of the world

I'm a rich man's toy
The duchess envoy said when I was a kid
You'd smack me around on a whim
I'm a rich man's toy
Your boyfriend moved all my things in the hall
- Didn't know you were sleeping with him

I'm a rich man's toy
With powder and make-up
D'you think that I scrub up well?
Watching you wake up
Who's right who's not
Who's gonna get it now that I'm a rich man's toy
What's the matter with me?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with me
Read us the riot act
Or read your cues

Powder and make-up
Watching you wake up
Do you think that I scrub up well
Who's right who's not
Who owes who what
Who's gonna get it now...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
