Nanana
Kelly Family · Best of Kelly Family [1999]
I saw the face of a human doll
Her eyes were glass and her hair was gold
From her sweet soft lips you could hear that song go
Chorus:
Nanana nana nanana nana nanana nana nana nana 2x
In a place where hell is around the corner
I touched her hand it was baby sweet
She kissed me there I could feel the song going down my throat
She was singing to me
Chorus
My daddy said if you wanna live you'd better not touched it's not a toy
The truth is boy I'm a bloody fool I left the one that I loved behind singing
Chorus
Tell me what it is that brings me back to you
Tell me what it is I can't stop loving you 2x
So take me back to the land of yours where the black swan loves the one I lost
My generation sings with the radio on
The melody of the human doll
Chorus
Nanana
