Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
Your lips and your body cover me
Can you, my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream, in your hand, a glass jar
In it, my body bruised blue
I see your face, curious, closest
I feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just keep on grinding?
A toy in a world that’s so tall (so tall)
Maybe you’re just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father, too small
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied (she’s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When toys cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You’ve got my ankles and wrists all tied up
Don’t make me beg you
Even toys have pride
How can you just keep on grinding?
A toy in a world that’s so tall (world so tall)
Maybe you’re just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father, too small
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied (she’s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When toys cry
How can you just keep on grinding?
A toy in a world that’s so tall (world that’s so tall)
Maybe you’re just too demanding (maybe, maybe I’m like my father)
Maybe I’m just like my father too small (you know he’s too small)
Maybe you’re just like my mother (maybe you’re just like my mother)
She’s never satisfied (she’s never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When toys cry
When toys cry (toys cry, toys cry)
When toys cry (toys cry, toys cry)
Don’t cry (don’t cry)
Some very evocative imagery in there. Some very fortuitous lyrics as well.

Agreed. I ordered Alexa to play music and it started playing Prince’s song. In my mind, I heard “when toys cry” and I knew I had to play with it.

Nice parody, took me back to the 80’s.

Thank you! It’s not one of my favorite Prince songs but it’s been in my head for days now.
