Paper Dolls (feat. ABBA & Ted Gärdestad)

Thomas H. Minor

[Verse 1: Michael Tretow]
I can still recall the time I looked into your eyes
And knew my heart would fall
And there was no time for second thoughts
I had to heed the call
Now this house is nearly empty
'Cept what's hanging on the walls
And the only thing that still remain now are
Your paper dolls

[Chorus: Michael Tretow & Agnetha, Frida & Ted]
Paper dolls (That you always used to cut out)
Paper dolls (Just to show our love was true)
Paper dolls (Paper dolls saw all the quarrels)
Paper dolls (And the promises a-new)
Only they know how I'm cryin'
Just keep burnin' up inside
And they know there is no place for me to hidе

[Verse 2: Michael Tretow]
It's so hard to sleep at night
I'm here so all alone just tryin' to forgеt
But my mind keeps turning back the pages to the day we met
Right now all I have for company is one last cigarette
And the doubts and fears and loneliness
That have not faded yet

[Chorus: Michael Tretow & Agnetha, Frida & Ted]
Paper dolls (That you always used to cut out)
Paper dolls (Just to show our love was true)
Paper dolls (Paper dolls saw all the quarrels)
Paper dolls (And the promises a-new)
Only they know how I'm cryin'
Just keep burnin' up inside
And they know there is no place for me to hide

[Verse 3: Michael Tretow]
Once there was a time I held you in my arms and yet
I knew the end was near
Oh, my darlin', how it hurts me
That you left me standin' here
Now I'm countin' lonely hours
Trying not to shed a tear
Paper dolls keep on reminding me
Of things we held so dear

[Chorus: Michael Tretow & Agnetha, Frida & Ted]
Paper dolls (That you always used to cut out)
Paper dolls (Just to show our love was true)
Paper dolls (Paper dolls saw all the quarrels)
Paper dolls (And the promises a-new)
Only they know how I'm cryin'
Just keep burnin' up inside
And they know there is no place for me to hide

[Outro: Michael Tretow & Agnetha, Frida & Ted]
Paper dolls (That you always used to cut out)
Paper dolls (Just to show our love was true)
Paper dolls (Paper dolls saw all the quarrels)
Paper dolls (And the promises a-new)
