Like a child with a toy i was your plaything
But it filled my heart with joy to be your plaything
Everybody knows how the story goes
You took your little toy and broke its heart strings

Like a little bitty boy loves his mother
I needed you and could love no other
Now that i've lost you to somebody new
Look at your little toy your broken plaything

You just used me as you needed me
The toy that you could leave easily
I was to-love-you all the time
While your heart never was to-be-mine

And like a child with a toy i was your plaything...

[ guitar ]
You just used me as you needed me...
And like a child with a toy i was your plaything...
