Imagine yourself as a link on a chain, the chain is wrapped around someone's mind.
If you break off, then things start to change. And then You realize that there's no time.
No direction as you fly through the wind; you stop to ponder on a pink chateau.
The theme from "Mahogany" still transcends, but Quote Unquote, that's the way it goes.

I'm looking at the picture again. I'm looking at the picture again.
I spin the sun dial to expectation; twenty years ago I saw you yesterday.
You're looking at the picture now, I see you looking at the picture now
and for the slightest moment I watched you think about what it's like as a paper doll.

[Chorus:]
One of these days I think you will find yourself as a paper doll, (paper doll), paper doll
One of these days I think you will find yourself as a paper doll, (paper doll), oh, paper doll.

Imagine yourself as a cloud in the sky– you pass me by and I blow you a kiss.
A thinking cloud, so you're wondering why, only to find out it doesn't exist.
Life surrounds what's presumed as wise; it wouldn't be wise until the fist uncurls.
No one I don't know ever stares in my eyes. Because of the quote unquote real world.

I'm thinking about yesterday. I'm actually thinking about yesterday.
A thousand words say it doesn't make sense. A thousand ideas tell me otherwise.
You're thinking about yesterday. And now you're thinking about yesterday,
but for the slightest moment I watched you think about what it would be like as a paper doll.

[Chorus]

Regardless of how you think, regardless of how you feel, see yourself as,
more than a human being. It's recognizable, spiritually and mentally.
Hold my hand forever, paper doll.

[Chorus]
