Little Doll, Little Doll

Intro

(Heh heh heh)

Little doll, little doll

Time to play

Verse 1

I used to smile for the cameras

Bow my head and wave goodbye

You cheered the girl in the ribbons

Now the ribbons turn to knives

Painted face cracks down the middle

Sugar rots and turns to rust

Every promise that you whispered

Now it crumbles into dust

Pre-Chorus

You built me up just to watch me break

I learned the lesson from every ache

So step a little closer dear

And tell me what you're running from

Chorus

I'm the sweetest little nightmare

That you ever let inside

I'm the smile before the thunder

I'm the venom in the wine

Come and meet your little monster

She's been waiting all this time

I'm the sweetest little nightmare

And tonight the nightmare's mine

Verse 2

Wrapped in lace and burning patience

Every flower has a thorn

You all wanted something fragile

Now you're wishing I was never born

Turn the lights down low I'm glowing

Something wicked in the glow

All the angels in the rafters

Won't be saving you no more

Pre-Chorus

You built me up just to watch me break

I learned the lesson from every ache

So step a little closer dear

And tell me what you're running from

Chorus

I'm the sweetest little nightmare

That you ever let inside

I'm the smile before the thunder

I'm the venom in the wine

Come and meet your little monster

She's been waiting all this time

I'm the sweetest little nightmare

And tonight the nightmare's mine

Bridge

Say my name

(Say my name)

Say it twice

(Say it twice)

Watch the pretty thing turn cold as ice

Every halo has a price

Every paradise has flies

Breakdown

Little doll, little doll

Did you really think I'd fall

Little doll, little doll

I don't fall I make you crawl

Chorus

I'm the sweetest little nightmare

That you ever let inside

I'm the smile before the thunder

I'm the venom in the wine

Come and meet your little monster

She's been waiting all this time

I'm the sweetest little nightmare

And tonight the nightmare's mine

Outro

(Say my name)

Little doll, little doll

(Say it twice)

Smile for the cameras

One last time
