Dollhouse - Bruce Springsteen

Ever since you were a little girl

You set the rules in your little world

But girls grow up and throw their toys away

You’re a big girl now but you still wanna play

(Girl we’re living) You dress them up the way you want to

(Girl we’re living) You make them do just what you want them to do

(Girl we’re living) Once I thought we had a love that was true

(Girl we’re living, living, living, living)

But I’m just another doll in your dollhouse to you

We’re living in a dollhouse

Oh we’re living in a dollhouse

Girl, we’re living in a dollhouse

You may feel safe and sound but your dollhouse, girl, is falling down

It’s all been neatly arranged in your mind

Every detail fits your own design

Every room is perfectly in place

But I can see the sadness, baby, on your face

(Girl we’re living) You had a plan and darling like a child

(Girl we’re living) You thought it’s down to fashion, down to style

(Girl we’re living) But your little dream house is running wild

(Girl we’re living, living, living, living)

Before your very eyes we’re shrinking down to size

We’re living in a dollhouse

Oh we’re living in a dollhouse

Girl, we’re living in a dollhouse

We may feel safe and sound

But our dollhouse, girl, is falling down

Everything’s as you dreamed it would be

But there’s something wrong that you can’t see

Room by room you’re looking for some little flaw

A crack somewhere in your dollhouse wall

(Girl we’re living) Something, girl, that will explain away

(Girl we’re living) The hurt you feel, darling, when we play

(Girl we’re living) Your little dolls they got a grip on you

(Girl we’re living) Your little dolls they got a grip on you

(Girl we’re living) Your little dolls they got a grip on you

(Girl we’re living, living, living, living)

Until you’re just another doll in your dollhouse too

We’re living in a dollhouse

Oh we’re living in a dollhouse

Girl, we’re living in a dollhouse

We may feel safe and sound

But our dollhouse, girl, is falling down

(We're living in a dollhouse)

And we’re living in a dollhouse

Oh we’re living in a dollhouse

Yeah we’re living in a dollhouse

Oh we’re living in a dollhouse

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa

Yeah we’re living in a dollhouse

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa

We’re living in a dollhouse

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, oh yeah

We’re living in a dollhouse
