Dollhouse Lyrics – The Weeknd
Somewhere
In some other lifetime
I roam free
Strutting down my own lane, my way, no kings, no slaves
But right now
You got me in a chokehold, headlock, blindfold, don’t stop
I don’t need to see, have your way with me
Keep me in the dollhouse, dreesed up, perfect, messed up
Friendly as can be, have your way with me
Just prop me with my head *** (Oh, oh)
Dollhouse, dressed up, perfect, messed up
Torture me to sleep, paint the air I breath
Fishbowl, chokehold, clear water, I’m full (Oh, oh)
Perfect as can be, have your way with me
Somewhere
On some other timeline
There’s no price on me (Oh, oh)
Nothing to compete with, pay for, no games, no war
I lay down
Every night at sunset, glowing, fairytale, knowing
Everything will be perfectly complete
Happy ever after, gleaming, daytime, dreaming
Once upon a time, in my brand new life
Guess I knew with my head ***
Dollhouse, dressed up, perfect, messed up
Torture me to sleep, paint the air I breath (Oh)
Fishbowl, chokehold, dirty water, I’m full
Dirty as can be, have your way with me
On control but I want your love
You don’t need to, baby
Oh, you’re not all dead to me, baby
Oh, yeah
Love it when you call me daddy
Am I? Am I?
But I love it when you call me daddy
Am I? Am I? Am I? Am I?
Am I playing’ all right now, daddy?
Am I? am I?
Am I playing’ all right now, daddy?
