Katy Perry Mannequin Lyrics

How do I get closer to you
When you keep it all on mute
How will I know the right way to love you

Usually the queen of figuring out
Breaking down the man is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get through to you

I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knockin' on wood
Hopin' there's a real boy inside

'Cause you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you're not a man

I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in and make you talk
Even pull astring for you
To say anything

But with you there is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch of broken parts
And I can't seem to find your heart

I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
This one's outta my hands
I can't put you back together again

'Cause you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
But you're not a man

You're just a, a toy
Could you ever be
A real, real boy
And understand
But you're not a man

If the past is the problem,
Our future could solve 'em, baby.
I could bring you to life,
If you let me inside, baby
It'll hurt, but in the end
You'll be a man

You're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real,
A toy, could you ever be a real, real boy?
Understand
But you're not a man
You're not a man,
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real,
But you're not a man
