Mannequin Lyrics

[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
[Bridge]
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
(Watch me, watch me, watch me, watch me)
(Watch me, watch me, watch me, watch me)
(Watch me, watch me, watch me, watch me)
(Watch me, watch me, watch me)

[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

[Outro]
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin
My face like a mannequin

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
