He's the mannequin of your dreams You designed him Nothing will stand in your way A punch in the heart Won't tear him apart Neither will the things they say 'Cause he's a beggar lover believer You are just an innocent reader He's the mannequin of your dreams Step inside him Look at the world his way Laughter is loud From the fool in the crowd You'll crack his smile one day Every dream must follow where we go Don't let them shatter your ego Mannequin, lover mannequin, lover mannequin Mannequin, lover mannequin, lover mannequin I gave you every bit of my time You lied and you committed a crime To present my feelings With shallow meanings How could you tear me apart? He's the mannequin of your dreams You denied him Laughter and political sway People are sweet But the primitive beat Is always getting in my way I can give you nothing but me though It isn't what you want to see oh Mannequin
