Martika - Toy Soldiers Lyrics






Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
What can I say?
It's true, I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay

When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes the fall
(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be?
How could I be so blind to this addiction?
If I don't stop, the next one's gonna be me

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

We never win

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

    I love this song even thou iam not the biggest fan,iam more Sex Pistols,Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns'n'roses,Queen. I miss the era of the late 80's and early 90's. PS my other favourite song from this era was Alice Cooper poison.

    True legends can b still listening to this song in 2020

  4. R.... ....

    This song makes me nostalgic for my teen years. I was fifteen when this came out in 1989. This was one of those songs that was always playing when laying next to the pool that summer, just having fun with my friends and not realizing those would be the most carefree and innocent days of our lives.

  5. E.... W....

    MTV today sucks, no music videos, anything but music is their new motto.

  6. j.... ....

  15. T.... D....

    1980s I was 8-18 years old. Loved growing up then. Films, music, TV. I was lucky. Wasn't in one of the 80s war or famine zones and the Soviet Union didn't nuke us. Chernobyl tried radiation on us instead! Time machine YouTube is forever gonna be a way to touch the 80s whether you were there or not.

  16. D.... R....

    buena canción me fascina escuchar recuerdo cuando mis primas trajeron su casete de usa cuando se lanzó

  17. l.... .....

  33. M.... H....

    This song is so agonisingly sad.

  34. R.... H....

    My nephew was born in 89! Still love this song!

  35. H.... C....

    I remember when Martika was on Kids Incorporated on Disney Channel. It was the first show I watched when we first got cable tv in 1986. Fergie & Jennifer Love Hewitt were also on with her.
    Anyone else remember that show?

  36. J.... C....

    Una gran melodia para mis oidos

  37. A.... C....

    I can see through the video. She’s running with her friends and her crush pulls her aside and brings her to his friends and she changes into a druggie like him. Cause you can see him making exchanges with his dealer and you see her and him fighting as they get older cause she wants out of that life

  42. L.... L....

    Nice, the best is that she sings the same song in English and Spanish, and in both languages I like it, and she is as nice as always.

  43. K.... F....

    Probably the most beautiful voice that I've ever heard in my life! You have an angel residing inside you sweetheart. I heard this song on the radio in when I was 11 in 89, my parents just signed their rights to me over to the state of Tennessee, so it was a difficult time for me. I always clung to songs like this because of the lack of love in my life. Thank you martika for this amazing creation. ❤

    我想會越來越多的預測預言也會很多準確,不過你們自己判斷吧,有很多是被期待發生~你們的意念,toys,我曾假設很多預言家,通靈者,靈媒或類似此種行業如命理師 ~中外不拘也許只是個Toys soilders 被利用的工具,他們當然希望事情發生然後證明有多神奇厲害當然他們只是代言者真的背後面目是我們永遠摸不透,但使我們喪失了對自己本身的能力認知也喪失真的方向只有任由操控控制這就是命理師的目的,背後只有可能是比較高級的靈操控這些人但也已足夠了至少已操控大部分人的一生,無人可免~記得這些人只是玩具兵而已~一切純屬假設~放心他們絕對不會認為自己是被利用的玩具兵而會認為自己是為人造福指引人生,解答人生難題~這一切只是我個人意見

  77. y.... ....

    Can't blame modern musicians.. when you had to go up against the Pinnacle of talented musicians, the only way they could go was down, so they simply gave up the fight, and decided to be clever about it, and be weird and see how far they could go by making music as bad as they could, while still sounding somewhat interesting.. a.k.a the grunge alternative route.. i.e. crash test dummies, zombie by cranberries, and the goo goo dolls.. and don't forget about the gin blossoms.. barf . I bought into it too. There were some exceptions, smashing pumpkins, Nirvana . But let's be honest, they can't hold a candle to the king of music.. late 70s to early 90s ... And dumb-ening of music continues aka modern club-ish one hit wonders and mumble rap.... we are sick of it.. I say if you can't beat em join em , and just continue making classic type rock and rap.

  78. C.... A....

    Lindas demais música e a cantora.So podia ser anos 80.
