Lyrics

[Chorus]
Am I a toy
Or am I a treasure?
Which of the two
Am I to you?
[Verse 1]
Am I a puppet
That you dangle on a string
Or is your love for me
A rare and precious thing?
[Verse 2]
Oh, will I be yours
To cherish forever
Or thrown away
One thoughtless day?
[Verse 3]
Am I to be
A here-to-stay thing
Or just another plaything?
Am I a toy
Or a treasure to you?
[Chorus]
Am I a toy
Or am I a treasure?
Which of the two
Am I to you?
[Verse 4]
Am I a puppet
That you dangle on a string?
Or is your love for me
A rare and precious thing?
[Verse 5]
Oh, will I be yours
To cherish forever?
Or thrown away
One thoughtless day?
[Verse 6]
Am I to be
A here-to-stay thing
Or will I be another plaything?
Am I toy or a treasure to you?
[Outro]
Am I a toy
Or a treasure to you?
