  • Paper doll, come try it on
    Step out of that black chiffon
    Here's a dress of gold and blue
    Sure was fun being good to you

    This one we made just for Fall
    And Winter runs a bit too small
    This mint green is new for Spring
    My love didn't cost a thing

    You're like twenty-two girls in one
    And none of them know what they're runnin' from
    Was it just too far to fall?
    For a little paper doll

    Fold a scarf, Moroccan red
    And tie your hair behind your head
    Strap into some heels that hurt
    You should've kept my undershirt

    You're like twenty-two girls in one
    And none of them know what they're runnin' from
    Was it just too far to fall?
    For a little paper doll

    Cut the cord and pull some strings
    And make yourself some angel wings
    And if those angel wings don't fly
    Someone's gonna paint you another sky

    'Cause you're like twenty-two girls in one
    And none of them know what they're runnin' from
    Was it just too far to fall? Writer/s: John Clayton Mayer
