My All Time Doll

Lyrics
[Verse 1] When I was away, I needed you so Now I'm coming home to stay I won't wake in the night and reach for you And turn on the light and to my dismay [Verse 2] You're not there, you're never around Or is it me? It's so hard to see I flick off the switch and stare in the dark And wait for you to appear [Chorus] You're my all-time doll, I'm out of control It's broken my mind, that's not all that you stole You're my all-time doll, you're all I adore I'd swear to it now it but I already swore [Bridge] My eyes are blinded by tears but it's all my own fault My lips taste of cruel words, my eyes sting with salt Take the way I feel about you and put it in a vault You're my all-time doll [Verse 2] From near and from far, I've known many a girl Now I'm closing in My heart is beating like a whip on a hide It's raining outside [Chorus] You're my all-time doll, I'm out of control It's broken my mind, that's not all that you stole You're my all-time doll, you're all I adore I'd swear to it now it but I already swore [Bridge] Every time I rant and rail, every time I try and fail Any time I want to quit and say, "That's the end of it" When I stand and start to leave you cool my brow and tug my sleeve You're my all-time doll [Verse 3] I'm walking, I'm pacing, my heart is racing I swear that clock is running slow It only speeds up for a moment or so Each time it's time for me to go [Chorus] You're my all-time doll, I'm out of control It's broken my mind, that's not all that you stole You're my all-time doll, you're all I adore I'd swear to it now it but I already swore [Bridge] In the far flung cry of a closing saloon On the blank back side of that poisonous moon I tried not to think about you, I thought I was immune You're my all-time doll [Outro] You're my all-time doll You're my all-time doll You're my all-time doll
