Rod Stewart Songtext

She had a mannequin on the front porch in july

she sold him coffees and cookies and a tea called time

and the mannequin smiles, and the mannequin smiles

and she don't know what to say

and everythings ok

and it's fine to be plain



chorus:



If its just my body you want, my body you want; then come on and tell me

if you want me for my body, for my body, for my body

If it's just my body you want then come on and tell me, come on and tell me

if you want me for my body, for my body, for my body



Now, now, now lamentations, lamentations, what am i trying to say?

now, now, now complications, reputations, mannequins need some fame

and the mannequins denial , the mannequins denial

and she don't know what to crave

she don't know what to praise

as the mannequins say



chorus



Bridge:



(background) Ok, positions lasts forever

it's going to be hard to pretend

(background) Ok, we'll always be together

its always so hard to be a mannequin

(background) Ok

ok

I love you forever



(solo)



If its just my body you want, my body you want; then come on and tell me

if you want me for my body, for my body, for my body

if its just my body you want then come on and tell me, i would believe you

cuz your just so damn vain but fuck i'm still tryin to impress you
