lyrics

She's our angel baby
Little girl, big dreams
Always the good girl
Lolita, so sweet

Come on vanilla, darling
Sing for me
You're gonna be a centerfold on the wall
You're our Honey doll

You were only 16
A pop princess machine
What have we done to you, Baby Velveteen?

Be a good girl, baby
Do what you're told
You're an icon and
You'll never grow old

Little star on the horizon
Keep your mouth closed
As long as you're quiet, you'll keep rising
In our stranglehold

You should have been Queen
Not a plastic figurine
Will you ever be free, Baby Velveteen?

She said I just don't wanna be touched (x2)
Even one photograph is too much

I just don't wanna be touched (x3)

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby Velveteen
I hope you glow

Written by Deanna Faye.
Produced by Gavin Whelehan.
Session musicians include Charlotte Cornfield on drums.
Drums recorded at Revolution Recording.
