[Verse 1]
Let's make a girl to run the world
She'll sing on stage with graceful rage
Put her on a tour bus
Then teach her how to yell "Thank you, New York"
(Thank you, New York)
Then put her on a TV, have her selling pills, the skinny cure
(They told me I'm the one)
[Chorus]
Take my body, take all the air I breathe
Can't help myself but be a player on the team
A lion you want, but only in a cage
Can't help myself but be a puppet on your stage
[Verse 2]
What kind of hair? What kind of stare?
Should she be nice or cold as ice?
Build me like a Barbie
Then take me to a lobby in New York (Hello New York)
The forty second floor, I'm gonna be the perfect star, they're sure
(It's better if you're dumb)
[Chorus]
Take my body, take all the air I breathe
Can't help myself but be a player on the team
A lion you want, but only in a cage
Can't help myself but be a puppet on your stage
[Post-Chorus]
Take the things you want and burn the rest
What do I know? I'm a pretty mess
Move my mouth and swing me with a string
Dancing, laughing, smiling while I sing
[Bridge]
Will you save me?
'Cause I'm breakin'
Will you save me?
'Cause I'm breakin', I'm breakin'
I'm breakin', I'm breakin', ohhh
[Chorus]
Take my body, take all the air I breathe
Can't help myself but be a player on the team (Breaking, ohh)
A lion you want, but only in a cage
Can't help myself but be a puppet on your stage
[Outro]
Take the things you want and burn the rest
What do I know? I'm a pretty mess
Move my mouth and swing me with a string
Dancing, laughing, smiling while I sing
