Coin-operated boy, sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
                                
But I turn him on and he comes to life
                                                   Gsmaj
Automatic joy, that is why I want a coin-operated boy


                                      
Made of plastic and elastic, he is rugged and long-lasting
                            
Who could ever ever ask for more
                             
Love without complications galore
                                                 
Many shapes and weights to choose from, I will never leave my bedroom
                           
I will never cry at night again
                                
Wrap my arms around him and pretend


                                
Coin-operated boy, all the other real ones that I destroy
                                 
Cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I'll
                        
Never let him go and I'll never be alone
And I'll never let him go and I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
                                     
And I'll never be alone, not with my coin-operated boy


                                     
This bridge was written to make you feel smitten-er
                                
With my sad picture of girl getting bitter-er
                               
Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
                               
I didn't think so but I'm still convincible
                          
Will you persist even after I bet you
                              
A billion dollars that I'll never love you
                              
And will you persist even after I kiss you
                                      
Goodbye for the last time will you keep on trying
                                     
To prove it, I'm dying, to lose it, I'm losing
                                                  
My confidence, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
                                 
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
                                 
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
     
I  want a
     
I  want a
     
I  want a
      
I  want a coin-operated boy


   
   
   
    


                                         
And if I had a star to wish on for my life I can't imagine
                                  
Any flesh and blood could be his match
                            
I can even take him in the bath


                                
Coin-operated boy, he may not be real experienced with girls
                                    
But I know he feels like a boy should feel
                            
Isn't that the point, that is why I want a
                                  
Coin-operated boy, with his pretty coin-operated voice
                                          
Saying that he loves me, that he's thinking of me
                              
Straight and to the point, that is why I want a
                 
Coin-operated boy
