Don't be so hard on yourself,
you gave it all you had.
But something inside you
petrified you,
try not to feel so bad.

Don't be so hard on yourself
The game is cruel and tough
You had a straight and a couple of aces.
but it wasn't quite enough.

That's the way it goes.
Some you win and some you don't,
some you sing and hearts get broke.
like china dolls,
like china dolls
delicate and beautiful.

Look at their purple,
look at their purple eyes!

Your stepfather's on the phone.
He wants to know if you're coming home.
He's sick of you always getting stoned
with your china dolls,
and your china dolls
delicate and beautiful.

Don't be so hard on yourself,
we know that you tried.
gave 'em some love and a couple of doves,
but they didn't wanna fly.

And that's the way it goes!
Some they fill your heart and soul.
Some they treat you so damn cold,
Like china dolls,
like china dolls,
delicate and beautiful.

Look at their devil
look at their devil eyes!
The police are on the phone,
they want to know if you're coming home.
God I wish that your mother had never sold
those china dolls,
those china dolls,
delicate and beautiful.
Oh your china dolls,
and your china dolls.
