Mannequin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Home late, it's okay
I run this, he wants me
I get things, everything
I want it my own way
Your time, goldmines, blue skies, all mine
Necklace, dresses, excess
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't help myself, I'm just doin' what I do
Help myself to anything that I want, so thank you
I like it, and I do what I like
And then you do what I like, and you like it
[Chorus]
If you wanna just (Scream), scream your lungs out
If you wanna just (Cry), cry your eyes out
I'ma do my (Thing), that's what I'm about
You can cry your eyes out of your head
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, baby, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain
My face like a mannequin (Scream)
Mannequin, yeah, I did it again and a-
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain
My face like a mannequin
Home late, it's okay
I run this, he wants me
I get things, everything
I want it my own way
Your time, goldmines, blue skies, all mine
Necklace, dresses, excess
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't help myself, I'm just doin' what I do
Help myself to anything that I want, so thank you
I like it, and I do what I like
And then you do what I like, and you like it
[Chorus]
If you wanna just (Scream), scream your lungs out
If you wanna just (Cry), cry your eyes out
I'ma do my (Thing), that's what I'm about
You can cry your eyes out of your head
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, baby, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain
My face like a mannequin (Scream)
Mannequin, yeah, I did it again and a-
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain
My face like a mannequin
[Verse 2]
You told me you lonely
Can't hear you, can't feel you
I'm frozen, I'm posing
There's no way you move me
Watch me, dress me, can't impress me
I'm not changing, adjust
[Bridge]
I can't help myself, I'm just doin' what I do
Help myself to anything that I want, so thank you
I like it, and I do what I like
And then you do what I like, and you like it
[Chorus]
If you wanna just (Scream), scream your lungs out
If you wanna just (Cry), cry your eyes out
I'ma do my (Thing), that's what I'm about
You can cry your eyes out of your head
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, baby, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain
My face like a mannequin (Scream)
Mannequin, yeah, I did it again and a-
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain
My face like a mannequin
You told me you lonely
Can't hear you, can't feel you
I'm frozen, I'm posing
There's no way you move me
Watch me, dress me, can't impress me
I'm not changing, adjust
[Bridge]
I can't help myself, I'm just doin' what I do
Help myself to anything that I want, so thank you
I like it, and I do what I like
And then you do what I like, and you like it
[Chorus]
If you wanna just (Scream), scream your lungs out
If you wanna just (Cry), cry your eyes out
I'ma do my (Thing), that's what I'm about
You can cry your eyes out of your head
[Post-Chorus]
