"Jack in the box"


Stop!
Don't say or put me down
Love
Don't go away
Drop
My feet back on the ground
Open your arms, let me stay

Hold me like you know you should
Don't leave me on your shelf
Like a doll you've thrown away
So sad and lonely, all by myself

I'm just your...
Jack in the box
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on the spring
A toy used up when it stops
I'm just your jack in the box
Because for your love I'll do anything

Who
Just kicks my heart around?
Loves
To pull the strings
You
And when it's upside-down
Look at the way that it swings

I can't help the way I feel
It's you and no-one else
Call the tune
But all too soon
I'm just a doll put back on the shelf

I'm just your...
Jack in the box
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on the spring
A toy used up when it stops
I'm just your jack in the box
Because for your love I'll do anything

Lah lah lah
La la la lah
La lah la, la la la lah
La la la la la la lah la lah lah
Lah lah lah
La la la lah
La lah la, la la la lah
La la la la la la lah la lah lah

Hey!
Hear what I say
You'll find someday that I'll walk away from you
So say
I've got to stay
And from today it's love
That's gonna break through

I'm just your...
Jack in the box
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on the spring
A toy used up when it stops
I'm just your jack in the box
Because for your love I'll do anything
Hey, hey!
