Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Coin operated boy, sitting on the [D]shelf
He is just a toy but I turn him [Am]on
and he comes to life
Automatic [D]joy that is why I want
A [G]coin operated boy

[Verse 2]
[Am]Made of plastic and elastic
[C]He is rugged and long lasting
[Em]Who could ever ever ask for [C]more?
[Em]Love without complications ga[C]lore
[Am]Many shapes and weights to chose from
[C]I will never leave my bedroom
[Em]I will never cry at night agai[C]n
[Em]Wrap my arms around him and pre[C]tend
[F][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Coin operated boy
All the other [D]real ones that I destroy
Cannot hold a [Am]candle to my new boy
And I'll never let him [D]go
And I'll never be alone
And I'll never let him go
And I'll never be a[D]lone, 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 a[D]lone
Not with my [G]coin operated boy

[Bridge 1]
[C]This bridge was [D]written
to [Bm]make you feel [C]smitten
And with my sad [D]picture
of [Bm]girl getting [C]bitterer
Oh, can you ex[D]tract me
from [Bm]my plastic fa[C]ntasy
I didn't [D]think so but [Bm]I'm still conv[C]incible
Oh will you per[D]sist even [Bm]after
I [C]bet you a million [D]dollars
That [Bm]I'll never [C]love you
and will you per[D]sist even [Bm]after I [C]kiss you
Goodbye for the [D]last time
will [Bm]you be [A]trying to [C]prove it, I'm [A]dying
To [C]lose it, I'm [A]losing my [C]confidence
[A]I want it, I[C] want it, I [A]want it, I w[C]ant it
[A]I want to, I[C] want to, I [A]want to, I w[C]ant to
[A]I want you, I[C] want you, I [A]want you, I w[C]ant you
[A]I want a, I[C] want a, I [A]want a,
[C]I want a c[G]oin operated boy

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Am][C][C]
[Em][Em][C][C]
[Am][Am][C][C]
[Em][Em][C][C]

[Verse 4]
And [Am]if I had a star to wish on f[C]or my life
I can't imagine [Em]any flesh
and blood could be this [C]match
[Em]I can even take him in the bat[C]h[F][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Coin operated boy,
he may not be [D]real experienced with girls
But I know, he [Am]feels like a boy should feel,
isn't that the [D]point
That is why I want a [G]coin operated boy
With a pretty [D]coin operated voice saying
That he [Am]loves me, that he's thinking of me
Straight and to the [D]point
That is why I want a [G]coin operated boy
