Soft Cell - Baby Doll Lyrics
Baby doll is on her trapeze
Wearing the smile that she never sees
Thinking of dollar as she tries to tease
Time to play Sheba on a wooden stage
Rubbing down the skin that is white and cold
And the sticking plasters that cover up the holes
Stared at by a man that would do her harm
Needs to earn the money that will feed his arm
He promised you security safe and warm
He promised you security safe and warm
They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside
The emptiness you try to hide
And as for the future when you grow old
Baby doll
Baby doll
They'll never know the hurt you feel inside
The emptiness you try to hide
Take a tiny costume from a pile of clothes
Just a touch of glitter and a glow of gold
Pick on a failure make his knees go weak
Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak
He'll wipe a line of dribble falling from his mouth
Make your wages later when you're back at his house
Try to hide the mirror 'cause it's never kind
Kick start the heart that's so hard to find
Try to save the beauty and to draw the line
Baby, baby, baby doll
Continue your search for a genuine love
Continue your search for a genuine love
Baby, baby, baby doll

Soft Cell Baby Doll Comments
This song builds & builds, wonderful
Barbara Streisand's PRODIGY CHOIR BOY from the dark side. Pet Shop boys took the show tunes, but they never got THIS MELODRAMATIC with it. THEY MISSED ALL THE FUN.
Damn, this is much more hardcore than even 'Sex Dwarf'.
fantastica!!!!!!
3:30 I think I know who "Murdock" from gorrillaz was based on
Killer song 👍
This song inspired me to throw caution to the wind and pursue my dream of being a smuggler across 5 borders and also majoring in prostitution, the business side of it. You wont believe the things Ive seen, the sleazy dungeons that the most elite retreat to for their carnal lusts.....Just kidding, I'm in I.T.
Anyone wonder who influenced Maralyn?
Who? Me? Rozz Williams from Christian Death. More visual evidence for him than anyone.
Like a lot of people I loved the song tainted love. It gets occasional air play and is a classic. Today I decided to explore what's behind this classic. I am very pleasantly surprised to find that this band is more relevant than I ever would have expected. I am now an actual fan.
pretty haunting for soft cell
UNDERRATED
Simplemente increible
"Thinking of dollar as she tries to please" 30 years and that line still gets me. That boy sure could sing.
"Hola" "I First got around dancing and professionall sex and I was doing a little stripping and also a little type of boothes. "Boothes?"
I said this in the full LP version. I 'm terrified by this record. 30 years ahead of time. Cold. Wait till you hear mine.
What is the girl saying at the start? does anyone know?
same i have no clue
i could hear ''stripping'' XD
when "slease and depration " go with art and elctro 80's tune!! fantastic!! (y)
sonido en extremo....soft cell
think about this when ur watching babesation
30 years on and this is still brilliant! That whole early 80s era including Marc's parallel releases with the Mambas was a magic time
One of my favorite songs by Soft Cell..
Lets face it Mr Almond is the only one who can make sleaze somehow sexy. Or is it sexy made sleazy? Either way this is one helluva performance. Nearly thirty years later and I still love it!!!
