Coin-operated boy, sitting on the shelf he is just a toy

 But I turn him on and he comes to life

 Automatic joy, that is why I want a coin-operated boy

Made of plastic and elastic, he is rugged and long-lasting

Who could ever ever ask for more

Love without complications galore

Many shapes and weights to choose from, I will never leave my bedroom

I will never cry at night again

Wrap my arms around him and pretend

Coin-operated boy, all the other real ones that I destroy

 Cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I'll

 Never let him go and I'll never be alone

And I'll never let him go and I'll never be alone, go

And I'll never be alone, go

And I'll never be alone, go

And I'll never be alone, go

 And I'll never be alone, not with my coin-operated boy

This bridge was written to make you feel smitten-er

With my sad picture of girl getting bitter-er

Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy

I didn't think so but I'm still convincible

Will you persist even after I bet you

 A billion dollars that I'll never love you

 And will you persist even after I kiss you

 Goodbye for the last time will you keep on trying

 To prove it, I'm dying, to lose it, I'm losing

My confidence, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it

I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you

I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you

I want a

I want a

I want a

I want a coin-operated boy

 And if I had a star to wish on for my life I can't imagine

Any flesh and blood could be his match

I can even take him in the bath

Coin-operated boy, he may not be real experienced with girls

 But I know he feels like a boy should feel

 Isn't that the point, that is why I want a

Coin-operated boy, with his pretty coin-operated voice

 Saying that he loves me, that he's thinking of me

 Straight and to the point, that is why I want a

Coin-operated boy
