A#            D#
Peter, can I go back home?
   A#                                 D#
I flew here under false pretense, I thought
it would be fun,
         Gm                           D#
But the lost boys have all moved away,
and one of them’s locked up,
Gm
I know you think you’re still a child but
D#                                    A#
I couldn’t give a fuck, you’re twenty one

Oh Peter
I can dream no more
I have been chasing all of yours
I've forgotten what it was that I wanted
That I want

Chorus:
    A#               D#
No, I won’t be your doll
     A#                    D#
So please don’t you ask me to,
               Gm
you see that I don’t look so good
    D#                        A#
In yellow, like other dolls they do,
 D#                   A#
like other dolls they do

Oh Peter
I am not naive
I see the way you look at her
You don't do that for me
Oh it must be love
And we both know it's not with us

Chorus:
Oh I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me too
You see I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do

Oh Peter
He walks beside the lake
While I lay beside an empty space
Waiting for the sirens
Just waiting for the sirens

Chorus:
Oh I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me too
I won't shut my little painted face
Like all your other dolls they do
Like all the other dolls they do
