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
