I'm just a little tin soldier in your hands I'm good for nothing but to obey your commands You've never really loved me i know So wind me up let me go
I'm just a play thing till you see someone else And then you leave me alone on the shelf But even tin soldiers have hearts don't you know So wind me up let me go
You don't really need me you've a hundred other toys And tear drops don't look good in the eyes of soldier boys
So pick me up and hold me one more time That's just consolation for this heart of mine Whisper a sweet word to the one who loves you So then wind me up let me go Then wind me up let me go
