Cuddly Toy

The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]

You're not the only cuddly toy

That was ever enjoyed by any boy

You're not the only choo-choo train

That was left out in the rain

The day after Santa came

You're not the only cherry delight

That was left in the night

And gave up without a fight

You're not the only cuddly toy

That was ever enjoyed by any boy



You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother

The kind of company you keep

I never told you not to love no other

You must have dreamed it in your sleep



You're not the only cuddly toy

That was ever enjoyed by any boy

You're not the only choo-choo train

That was left out in the rain

The day after Santa came

You're not the only cherry delight

That was left in the night

And gave up without a fight

You're not the only cuddly toy

That was ever enjoyed by any boy



You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother

The kind of company you keep

I never told you not to love no other

You must have dreamed it in your sleep



You're not the only cuddly toy

That was ever enjoyed by any boy

You're not the only cuddly toy

That was ever enjoyed by any boy
