When I met her she was falling apart
I collected her pieces and sent for her heart
She was made out of glue and made in Taiwan
Assembled from plastics, but molded all wrong
I wanted her to stay and spend the night
The price tag said, "For forty bucks she's yours for life"
With a Velcro dress and those silicon lips
A go-go style, a candy-coated virgin
At the toy store's where I lost my heart
At the toy store's where it all came apart
With lips as sweet as candy, oh how I love her madly
At the toy store's where I lost my heart
Like all things she began to fade
And I would look at her less and less each day
That elegant hair and those perky breasts
Began to droop, I must confess
That brings me to the point of this song
Don't go looking for love in a catalog
And don't mail a check unless you can pay
'Cause a heartache is only a toy store away
At the toy store's where I lost my heart
At the toy store's where it all came apart
With lips as sweet as candy, oh how I love her madly
At the toy store's where I lost my heart
