Plastic Doll Lyrics

I'm I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I p-plastic
P-plastic do-o-o-o-oll
P-plastic, technologic

Open me up and cut me loose
I come with a purse and new shoes
Am I your type?
Am I your type?
(Oh-la-la, oh-la-la, oh-oh, oh-la-la)
I've lived in a pink box so long
I am top shelf, they built me strong
Am I your type?
Am I your type?
(Oh-la-la, oh-la-la, oh-oh, oh-la-la)

'Cause I'll have spent too long
Dancing all alone
Dancing to the same song
I'm no toy for a real boy
(Oh-la-la, oh-la-la)
If you're a real boy

Don't play with me, it just hurts me
I'm bouncing off the walls
No-no-no, I'm not your plastic doll
(Your plastic doll)

I've got blonde hair and cherry lips
I'm state of art, I'm microchipped
Am I your type?
Am I your type?
(Oh-la-la, oh-la-la, ooh-ooh, oh-la-la)

'Cause I'll have spent too long
Dancing all alone
Dancing to the same song
I'm no toy for a real boy
(Oh-la-la, oh-la-la)
If you're a real boy

Don't play with me, it just hurts me
I'm bouncing off the walls
No-no-no, I'm not your plastic doll
Don't play with me, it just hurts me
I'm bouncing off the walls
No-no-no, I'm not your plastic doll
(Your plastic doll)

Tell me, who dressed you?
Where'd you get that hat?
Why is she crying, what's the price tag?
Who's that girl, Malibu Gaga?
Looks so sad, what is this saga?
Oh

Don't play with me, it just hurts me
I'm bouncing off the walls
No-no-no, I'm not your plastic doll
(Your plastic doll)
Don't play with me, it just hurts me
I'm bouncing off the walls
No-no-no, I'm not your plastic doll
(Your plastic doll)

I'm I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I p-plastic
P-plastic do-o-o-o-oll
P-plastic, technologic
I'm I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I p-plastic (I'm not your plastic doll)
P-plastic do-o-o-o-oll
P-plastic, technologic

What is the Meaning of Plastic Doll?

Lady Gaga's lyrics explore themes of objectification and self-identity within a consumerist society. The protagonist, metaphorically depicted as a plastic doll, symbolizes the commodification of individuals, particularly women, who are often valued based on superficial attributes. Phrases like "I come with a purse and new shoes" and "I'm state of art, I'm microchipped" critique the reduction of human worth to material possessions and technological enhancements. The repeated query, "Am I your type?" underscores the societal pressure to conform to idealized standards. Furthermore, the refrain "Don't play with me, it just hurts me" conveys the emotional toll of being treated as an inanimate object devoid of agency or feelings. Ultimately, this song serves as a poignant commentary on the dehumanizing effects of treating people as mere commodities in contemporary culture.
