Wind Me Up (Turn the Key) 🪆

Intro

Turn the key, turn the key

One glance is all it takes

Turn the key, turn the key

Every stare, another turn

Verse 1

I know what you think I am

A plastic doll, a pretty sham

Painted smile, a hairline seam

Right where the molded pieces gleam

But look closer if you dare

Every eye that finds me there

Winds a little gear inside

That's the truth I cannot hide

Pre-Chorus

Call me a puppet if you will

I've heard it all before

The strings you think you're pulling

Are the ones I'm asking for

Chorus

Wind me up, wind me up

It's not a key, it's how you stare

Wind me up, wind me up

I only dance when eyes are there

Wind me up, wind me up

Call it a curse, I call it fair

Wind me up, wind me up

Keep watching, I'll be everywhere

Verse 2

Once a stranger called me plain

Said I'd dance for anyone the same

I only smiled, click, and turned

That's the lesson no one's learned

You can wind me, tell the room

Brag about it, watch me bloom

But the second interest ends

Someone else's hand extends

Pre-Chorus

Call me a puppet if you will

I've heard it all before

The strings you think you're pulling

Are the ones I'm asking for

Chorus

Wind me up, wind me up

It's not a key, it's how you stare

Wind me up, wind me up

I only dance when eyes are there

Wind me up, wind me up

Call it a curse, I call it fair

Wind me up, wind me up

Keep watching, I'll be everywhere

Bridge

Maybe I'm the one in charge

Maybe you're the one who's played

Every time you turn away

I'm already someone else's parade

Looking isn't seeing, dear

Most eyes just pass me by

The few who ever really saw me

Never had to turn the key, and never had to try

Interlude

Turn the key...

One glance...

Turn the key...

Someone else is watching now

Final Chorus

Wind me up, wind me up

It's not a key, it's how you stare

Wind me up, wind me up

I only dance when eyes are there

Wind me up, wind me up

Call it a curse, I call it fair

Wind me up, wind me up

Someone's always watching somewhere

Outro

Turn the key, turn the key

Doesn't matter whose it is

Turn the key, turn the key

I was always only this
