Lyrics

Toy Box

[Verse 1]

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely

It's so much fun

Brother cries whenever he's lonely

And he's lonely 'cause he hasn't one

But that's cool 'cause...

[Chorus]

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely

She's got a toy box

Love

It comes so easy when the children open doors

Doesn't matter who knocks

[Verse 2]

Sister's very kind so it's never quite a problem

When it comes to love

Everything's so easy when we're children

One touch is too much

Oooh

[Chorus]

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely

She's got a toy box

Love it comes so easy when the children open doors

Doesn't matter who knocks

[Post-Chorus]

One touch

One touch

One touch is too much

[Verse 3]

Why we hide our feelings when we're older

Is a movie I don't want to see (I don't want to see)

Truth is all that matters in a month of Saturdays

When you're 17 (When you're 17)

[Chorus]

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely

She's got a toy box

(She's got a toy box)

Love it comes so easy when the children open doors

(Knock, knock)

Doesn't matter who knocks

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely

She's got a toy box (Toy box)

Love it comes so easy when the children open doors

Doesn't matter who knocks

Sister's got a place she goes whenever she's lonely

She's got a toy box (Toy box)

Love comes so easy

She's got a toy box

[Post-Chorus]

One touch, one touch, one touch is too much

[Breakdown]

I can't go to the club without my jewels

Give me it...

You know, hoo

(Sister got a place she goes)

Where'd she go?

I need my fur

Tom, good God, I...

Lord, I'm...

I'm tryin' to tell ya

Give me my diam...

Look, y'all don't...

[Outro]
