Katy Perry – Mannequin lyrics

Katy Perry – Mannequin lyrics

How do I get
Closer to you
When you keep
It all on mute
How do I know
The right way
To love you

Usually the queens
Are figurin out
Beating down the man
Is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get
Through to you

I wanna hit you
Just to see
If you cry
Keep knocking on wood
Hopin there's
A real boy inside

But you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real

But you're not a man

I wish
I could just
Turn you on
But a battery in
And make you talk
Even pull
A string for you
To say anything

But with you
There is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch
Of broken parts
But I can't seem
To find your heart

I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
Cause this one's
Outta my hands
I can't put you
Back together again

Cause you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
You're just a, a toy
Could you ever be
A real, real boy
And understand
But you're not a man

Oh understand
That you're not a man

Katy perry is a good singer no doubt about that but I don't like the bridge that isn't that good otherwise the notes are fine and the flow of the notes. A change finally not too much instrumental harmony I think there were only two instruments harmony. She is talking but an idoit who doesn't feel her love for him and is an emotionless dummy since this song was released in 2008 maybe that's why she wrote a song called thinking of you where the song is about how she loved a man and how he died serving his country she finds a dummy who sleeps with her and doesn't understand that she doesn't love him like her first and true love who died.
