Like a Doll

Like a doll,
My "owner" controls me, my creator made me 
and I look unrealistic 
I sit in a corner waiting to be loved 
but I'm really just for show 

When you do love me 
I say what ever you say 
do as you make me 
and go where your cold hands take me 

Like a doll 
I can not say what I wish 
I can not wear as I please 
and you've made me into something I'm not 

Like a doll 
I'm set back in my corner 
forgotten until next time
