Paper Doll Lyrics

In my mind, in my mind
It was all so fine
Happy now, happy gone
I am often wrong

Put me on, scissor me
Then you leave me be

Cut me out, knead me too
You can paint me blue

You can always play with
You can always play with
You can always play with

Always one, once again
I'll be your best friend

Paper doll
Paper doll
Paper doll
You can always play with
You can always play with
You can always play with
Me

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.

On the surface, it could be the voice of the long-term abused in an abusive relationship, but I think it's rather about when you so desperately, absolutely need someone that you are willing to completely abnegate yourself in the hope that will make them be with you.
