Baby doll is on her trapeze
Wearing the smile that she never sees
Thinking of dollar as she tries to tease
Time to play Sheba on a wooden stage
Taking off the clothes that are grimy with age
Rubbing down the skin that is white and cold
And the sticking plasters that cover up the holes
Stared at by a man that would do her harm
Needs to earn the money that will feed his arm
He promised you security safe and warm
He promised you security safe and warm
They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside
The emptiness you try to hide
I would melt your eyes that are glassy and cold
And as for the future when you grow old
Baby doll
Baby doll
They'll never know the hurt you feel inside
The emptiness you try to hide
Take a tiny costume from a pile of clothes
Just a touch of glitter and a glow of gold
Pick on a failure make his knees go weak
Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak
He'll wipe a line of dribble falling from his mouth
Make your wages later when you're back at his house
Try to hide the mirror 'cause it's never kind
Kick start the heart that's so hard to find
Try to save the beauty and to draw the line
Baby, baby, baby doll
Continue your search for a genuine love
Continue your search for a genuine love
Baby, baby, baby doll
The lyrics BABY DOLL of SOFT CELL is also present in the album The art of falling apart (1983)
Soft Cell è un duo britannico di synthpop noto per essere salito alla ribalta nei primi anni '80. Il gruppo è composto dal vocalist Marc Almond e da David Ball, responsabile dei sintetizzatori. La loro fama internazionale è dovuta al successo planetario del 1981 con una versione rielaborata della canzone "Tainted Love" di Gloria Jones. Seppur questo brano sia stato l'unico successo di Soft Cell nella classifica americana, il duo ha ottenuto dieci successi nei primi quaranta posti delle classifiche britanniche, tra cui "Bedsitter", "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye", "Torch" e "What!". Inoltre, hanno pubblicato quattro album che si sono piazzati tra i primi venti in UK tra il 1981 e il 1984. Tra gli altri successi del duo ricordiamo anche "Where The Heart Is", "Numbers", "Down In The Subway", "Soul Inside" e "The Night". Soft Cell si è sciolto nel 1984, ma si è riunito all'inizio degli anni 2000 per tour e ha pubblicato un nuovo album nel 2002.
