I Know She’s Not a Mannequin

Lyrics

[Intro: The Temptations & David Ruffin] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 1: David Ruffin] Her love's so real but friends could only see From a picture staring out at me Oh, just a cold face in high society A face that's real but yet to them a fantasy [Chorus: David Ruffin & The Temptations] They called her a mannequin, oh baby But if they could feel the warmth of her sweet love Then they would know that she's real and she's loved She's not a statute of a mannequin No, she's not a mannequin I know, I know, I know she's not a mannequin [Verse 2: David Ruffin] Oh, but they don't know how much we love each other so That's because I'm just a common man, no one must know So we must meet in thе shadows on the street And 'cause only we arе there no one will ever know [Chorus: David Ruffin & The Temptations] She's not a mannequin Listen here, fellas In her eyes, I see coldness there 'Cause when she walks by, she doesn't seem to care That is why they call her a mannequin But I know, I know she's not a mannequin Ooh-ooh, she's not a mannequin [Bridge: David Ruffin & The Temptations] One day we'll show the world One day we'll show the world The realness of our love they will see Behind those eyes so cold You have a precious heart of gold Not a mannequin, ooh (Mannequin) [Outro: David Ruffin & The Temptations] Even though it's her disguise, what she failed to realize Things must be this way 'Cause she has a role to play, each and every day A mannequin I know, I know, I know she's not a mannequin Tell me, baby, you're not a mannequin I know, I know, I know she's not a mannequin Doo-doo, doo-doo, mannequin
