I can still recall the time I looked into your eyes
And knew my heart would fall
And there was no time for second thoughts
I had to heed the call
Now this house is nearly empty
'Cept what's hangin' on the walls
And the only things that still remain now
Are your paper dolls
Paper dolls
That you always used to cut out
Paper dolls
Just to show our love was true
Paper dolls
Paper dolls saw all the quarrels
Paper dolls
And the promises anew
Only they know how I'm cryin'
Just keep burnin' up inside
And they know there is no place for me to hide
It's so hard to sleep at night
I'm here so all alone just tryin' to forget
But my mind keeps turnin' back the pages
To the day we met
Right now all I have for company
Is one last cigarette
And the doubts and fears and loneliness
That have not faded yet
Paper dolls
That you always used to cut out
Paper dolls
Just to show our love was true
Paper dolls
Paper dolls saw all the quarrels
Paper dolls
And the promises anew
Only they know how I'm cryin'
Just keep burnin' up inside
And they know there is no place for me to hide
Once there was a time I held you in my arms and yet
I knew the end was near
Oh, my darlin', how it hurts me
That you left me standin' here
Now I'm countin' lonely hours
Trying not to shed a tear
Paper dolls keep on reminding me
Of things we held so dear
Paper dolls
That you always used to cut out
Paper dolls
Just to show our love was true
Paper dolls
Paper dolls saw all the quarrels
Paper dolls
And the promises anew
Only they know how I'm cryin'
Just keep burnin' up inside
And they know there is no place for me to hide
Paper dolls
That you always used to cut out
Paper dolls
Just to show our love was true
Paper dolls
Paper dolls saw all the quarrels
