lyrics

I was born a dirty secret, someone's lustful oversight
In a house of damaged goods I was just one more sleepless night
A true unwanted number, disappeared but for the times
I was truly out of sight and out of mind

I'm a funky piece of puzzle that's been forced to fit between
An actor who has wandered into the wrong damn scene
Somewhere there is a vacuum where once I should have been
Closed like a wound in someone's fading dream

Batteries were not included with this toy
I was built to disappoint and little more
I'm that great underachiever who's always fallen short
I'm the one you'll settle for when you're tired of being sport
When all you want is love

Like a greasy smear of lipstick on a Sunday pillowcase
The way your curtains flutter and remind you of your place
The way your bathroom mirror can only show your one true face
I'm out of time and without space

Batteries were not included with this toy
I was built to disappoint and little more
And what I have to offer seems to never be enough
I'm the one you'll settle for when you're tired of being tough
When all you want is...

There's a road out there somewhere
That's all grown over, weeds and dirt and
If you dig perhaps you'll find my way

Well maybe I'm too selfish, or I'm not selfish enough
Was it strength or was it panic when the going got to rough
A lifetime never learning when or where to place your trust
Does it matter in the end
When you're alone again

Batteries were not included with this toy
I was built to disappoint and little more
I'm that great underachiever who's always fallen short
I'm the one you'll settle for when you're tired of being sport
When all you want is love

Batteries were not included with this toy
I was built to disappoint and little more
And what I have to offer seems to never be enough
I'm the one you'll settle for when you're tired of being tough
When all you want is love
When all you want is love
