New York Dolls Human Being 1974
Saturday night selection. New York Dolls – Human Being Lyrics | Genius Lyrics
Well, if you don't like it
Go ahead, find yourself a saint
Go ahead, now try to find a boy
Who's gonna be what I ain't
Now what you need is
A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint
Who's gonna sit through the madness
And always acts so quaint, I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
