dolly
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston


Mister, will you fix my dolly, will you fix my dolly for me
Mister, think you hit my dolly, think you hit my dolly or me

She's got a wound. She's got a scar for me
It's in a place you always stare at me
she's lying just outside the car from me
and it all happened much too fast, I couldn't see
and it all happened much too fast, I couldn't see

And even though I might ask for help
or maybe beg for help
I'm not a fool
And even though I might beg for help
I'm not a fool
What the hell do you take me for?
I'm not a fool
I'm not your fool

My life might flash before my eyes, but I can't see
how did you get inside my crash, inside of me?
They'll lift me out and sew me up, a flash of fame
and someday I might walk again, but, not the same
and someday I might walk again, but, not the same

Mister, will you fix my dolly, will you fix my dolly for me
Mister, will you fix my dolly, will you fix my dolly for me

And even though I might ask for help
or maybe beg for help
I'm not a fool
And even though I might beg for help
I'm not a fool
What the hell do you take me for?
I'm not a fool
I'm so much braver than you
