Dolly tells me everything
She tells me how to brush my hair
And how to clean my teeth
She tells me what clothes to wear
And what shoes match what purse
She tells me where to go
And who to call my friend

I hate my dolly, dolly dear
Even if she isn't real
She controls me day and night
Everything I say or do
She even tells me what to think
And she really needs to leave

So that is why I am not sad
When the men in white coats came
They took me to a happy place
Where dolly never goes
She cannot tell me what to do
She cannot hear my thoughts
Good riddance to my dolly, dolly dear

I hope she's angry that I'm gone
I hope she hates her exile
But I am free and she can never haunt me again
As long as these white walls protect me
I'll never hear from dolly, dolly again
Good riddance to my dolly, dolly dear

Today is the day they're letting me go
And how I dread it so
There are no more walls to hide me
There are no more places to run
I can hear my dolly's voice once more
But the men in white coats pay no mind
I am so frightened of my dolly, dolly dear

My dolly is not happy
I fear my dolly's wrath
My dolly doesn't love me
And I do not love her back
My dolly wants to kill me
And I fear she will succeed

She taunts me with her vengeful words
She threatens me with death
I start to wonder how pleasant it might be
To finally be at rest
I feel I'm giving up now
As I perch upon the sill
Good riddance to my dolly, dolly dear

I hear her screams of agony
Because she knows what I will do
I'm ridding my mind of this parasite
And my body with it, too
I push my feet against the sill
I'm diving towards the ground
