Rob Thomas - Paper Dolls Lyrics






Better watch yourself
Cause it's gonna be a long night ahead
This is hallowed ground
And there's fear in every word that you said
Don't make any moves while you're angry, I beg

[Chorus:]
Cause I don't know how we got this far
Don't know when we became who we are
The war goes on behind these walls
You and me are just worn paper dolls

Better not look down
Cause it's gonna be a long way to fall
This is our last chance
And it's everything or nothing at all
Don't make me a fool, darling don't make me crawl

[Chorus:]
Cause I don't know how we got this far
Don't know when we became who we are
The war goes on behind these walls
You and me are just worn paper dolls

Worn from what's been said
And on and now the rest
Falls on where we go now

[Chorus:]
Cause I don't know how we got this far
Don't know when we became who we are
The war goes on behind these walls
You and me are just worn paper dolls
You and me are just worn paper dolls

    Does anyone know what on earth happened to the fast version of this? All over online all I've found is this version- slow like malaises. There was another version before this that was faster, the original or so I thought. Any help is much appreciated, Thank you in advance!

    This song is amazing. Whenever I hear it, I remember Rob Thomas when he appeared on the other Rob Thomas' show iZombie. And I think that I would love to hear this on iZombie during a montage of the passion and conflict between Liv and Major. And it ends with a fade into their paper doll-like characters on the comic page . . .

  12. A.... M....

    This song gives me chills every time I hear it! I fell in love with this one and Pieces. Rob Thomas is absolutely amazing! All of his songs are so good! One of my favorite artists

    sounds like Rihanna that's doing the harmony kat ,but nnot sure

    m.... p....

    Her name is Ruth Anne Cunningham,Irish singer songwriter for Britney Spears, Jo Jo and many other popular singers. Her album is out later this year,she sings pop rnb. 😊 Rihanna could only dream of ever sounding this good...

  16. J.... H....

    Holy poop!! I can listen to this forever!!!

  17. D.... ....

    the paper dolls duet.. A female artist by the name of Rudy

    D.... ....

    Rooty,not Rudy. it's a play on her name which is Ruth.

  18. f.... s....

    Nothing

  19. K.... ....

    I don't know who is doing harmony with Rob on this song but she is good.  Reminds me of Amy Lee of Evanescence.  There are no bad songs by Rob.  He's great live too!

    Her name is Ruth Anne Cunningham,Irish singer songwriter for Britney Spears, Jo Jo and many other popular singers. Her album is out later this year,she sings pop rnb. 😊

  23. T.... M....

    I am deeply moved-this song brings the unwanted truth in many relationships... sadly, deeply, honestly. Crying is just the act.. the true theatrical lies within.

  44. F.... D....

    I usually don't like songs the first time I hear them, but it seems different with Matchbox Twenty and Rob Thomas songs. "Paper Dolls," "Pieces," and "One Shot" are songs I fell in love with instantly.

    F.... D....

    +Freshwoman Diaries same here (except for one shot) and the great unknown -- which is my fav. Love Rob & Matchbox Twenty -- North has some truly amazing songs on it.

    F.... D....

    Me Too....My Dad Introduced Me To Him! And I Got To Meet Him!

    F.... D....

    Gracie you're so lucky!! I would be so happy to meet Rob!! just saw him at Hope Estate Feb last yr! hope I can see MB20 in Australia soon! !

    F.... D....

    I met robbie (Nickname i made up for him lol) at starlight in kansas since i live there. And, in september i get to see Matchbox Twenty in starlight too. I'm not trying to brag but, i am really lucky xD.

    F.... D....

    Shine Or Gracie ;-; you're so lucky... He's my favorite artist and my mom's too...

  45. F.... D....

    I usually don't like songs the first time I hear them, but it seems different with matchbox 20 and Rob Thomas songs. This song, "pieces," and "one shot" are all songs i fell in love with the first time i heard them.

  46. a.... ....

    Who is the voice of female singer ??
    I love this song!!

    a.... ....

    Really Cool!

    a.... ....

    +alec5dj she kind of sounded like lady gaga in my opinion!

    a.... ....

    +MessyLilPolkaDot sounded more like cristina scabbia from lacuna coil to me.

    a.... ....

    +Shannon Bristol That's who I initially thought, too.
