Lyrics
Little china doll,
sits up on the shelf.
Mama's china doll,
so pretty by herself
Little lonely girl,
always does what's best.
Mama's little girl,
in a pink and white lace dress.
Little china doll,
never laughs or cries.
Little lonely girl,
sits alone and sighs.
All because ...
Mama says ...
Don't play with the china doll.
She's not a toy you see.
Don't touch the china doll.
She means so much to me.
Don't play with the china doll.
She just might break you know.
Don't touch the china doll.
She's only there for show.
Little china doll,
never hopes or dreams.
Little lonely girl,
was never loved it seems.
Little china doll,
so pretty on the shelf.
Little lonely girl,
sits all by herself.
And now momma says ...
Don't talk to the lonely girl,
she'll know not what to say.
Don't smile at the lonely girl,
she'll only turn away.
Don't ask the lonely girl,
she never learned to dance.
Don't play with the lonely girl,
she'll never take the chance.
Don't you know that ...
She's a china doll,
never laughs or cries.
She's a china doll,
sits at home and sighs.
She's a china doll,
never hopes or dreams.
She's a china doll,
Will never love ... it seems.
Just because ...
Mama said ...
Don't play with the china doll ...

(In a Crowded Room)
(Intro)
Here I am, again,
alone,
in a crowded room . . .
(Chorus)
No one here
I see.
No one here
but me,
in this crowded room,
alone,
with you
on my mind.
I can't help but wonder,
if you're thinking of me?
Are you looking for me
when I'm not there
in a crowded room
alone with you?
(Refrain Chorus)
And still I wonder,
do you smile at me,
when you're thinking of me,
if you're thinking of me,
when you're alone
in a crowded room?
(Refrain Chorus)

(Intro)
One of these days
I'm going to
Wrap my arms around you
And never let you go
And never let you go
As I get lost in your eyes
And find what I've been searching for
For so long
(Chorus)
For so long I've been waiting
For so long, anticipating
For so long, wanting
To be by your side
To be by your side
Wherever you are
I feel you inside me
Loving me always
Loving me always
This yearning so strong
I won't make it
Much longer without you
Much longer without you
And I'll surely lose my mind
I've been waiting for you
For so long
(Chorus)
For so long I've been waiting
For so long, anticipating
For so long, wanting
To be by your side

You always listen to the lady who sings the blues.
It makes you feel so good inside.
Did you think, you could make me blue, too?
Me, cry -- I refuse.
Because this lady doesn't sing the blues.
Perhaps you thought that when you left,
I would break down and cry.
But there's just one thing you should know,
You left -- You lose.
'Cause this lady doesn't sing the blues.
When you hear this you may say, "What a WITCH"
You're absolutely right. Only I say it, ,
"Woman In Total Control of Herself"
My life -- I choose.
And this lady doesn't sing the blues.
(Chorus)
Didn't Momma tell you
(The blues is for losers)
Don't you know
(No one ever wins)
I'm not a loser -- are you?

One touch of your hand
One glance from your eyes
One caress of your lips
Has brought me such surprise
Till now I never knew that
I was waiting for your touch
Looking for your eyes
I was wanting just your kiss
Hoping for your sighs
One magic moment
To live forevermore
To treasure ever dearly
And remember evermore
One touch of my hand
One glance from my eyes
One caress of my lips
Has brought to you surprise
I bet you never knew that
You were waiting for my touch
Looking for my eyes
You were wanting just my kiss
Hoping for my sighs.
One magic moment
To live forevermore
To treasure ever dearly
And remember evermore

Keep it locked up inside;
all our feelings, long denied.
Never, ever let them know
of the love, we want to show.
Please, please, don't make a scene.
Keep it peaceful and serene.
No one else needs to know
of the love we can not show.
(Chorus)
Our love doesn't need expression.
There is a mutual perception
of love unspoken and forever true,
in a time and place for me and you.
Two hearts, torn apart
by a love that must not start.
We keep fighting back the tears
building up for all these years.
And so we still make believe,
we don't feel what we perceive.
Though deep inside we really know,
all the love we just can't show.
(Repeat Chorus)
Our love doesn't need expression.
There is a mutual perception
of love unspoken and forever true,
in a time and place for me and you.

(Chorus)
If I told you that I love you,
would you say it back to me?
If I put my arms around you,
would you hold me tenderly?
If I kissed your lips, so warm and true,
would you kiss me back again?
Or would you turn to run and hide,
like you did when you were ten?
When you were ten Mary Rose,
kissed you in the park?
You ran home and washed your cheek,
then hid alone til dark.
And when you went to bed that night
you had a dream, my dear,
of Mary Rose and that first kiss,
and you cried your very first tear.
You told me that, just last week,
while we were walking in the park.
You held my hand as we walked and
talked,
for hours, in the dark.
I went home, and in bed that night,
I had a dream, my dear,
of you and me, and our first kiss,
and you cried your very last tear.
(Refrain Chorus)

help but feel that I didn't write them.
I fear that perhaps I heard them
once long ago and they got lost in
my subconscious until one day they
popped back out again.
I know that this is not an uncommon
feeling among lyricists and
musicians.
I take the copyright laws very
seriously and would never
intentionally plagiarize another's
work.
I honestly believe that I did write
these words, if however, you can
prove otherwise, let me know and I
will remove them.
