"I may keep quiet I may not fight
But you ain't telling me what's wrong is right.
Just because you're eight feet tall,
Don't mean I gotta be your Living Doll!

I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
You don't get me at your beck and call,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll.

You can take me up, you can put me down,
You can love me, honey, honey, you can kick me around,
But I ain't no statue in the marble hall,
And I ain't gonna be no living doll

I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
You don't get me at your beck and call,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll.

Ah, Living Doll, living Doll,
Gonna be no living doll,
Ah, Living Doll, Living Doll.
You don't get me at your beck and call,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll.

I like the look of them bright lights,
I got the big time in my sights,
But you better realise, you're heading for a fall,
If you think I'm gonna be your living doll!

I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
You don't get me at your beck and call,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll.

You think I'm joking when I say,
That you're about change your way.
You may deny it thrice today
But you'll be there, so you best make hay,
Enjoy yourselves 'cos we're all gonna pay,
Before the dolls come out to play!

I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
You don't get me at your beck and call,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll.

I ain't gonna listen, ain't never gonna change,
Ain't gonna be an actor on your stage,
You can bang your head against the wall,
But I ain't gonna be no living doll.

I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll,
You don't get me at your beck and call,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll.

Ah, Living doll, living doll,
Gonna be no living doll,
Ah, Living Doll, Living Doll.
You don't get me at your beck and call,
I ain't gonna be no Living Doll."
