LIVING DOLL

SONGWRITER: LIONEL BART

WHERE: LIVE IN LONDON 1980

COUNTRY: U.K.

ALBUM: CLIFF SINGS

LABEL: COLUMBIA RECORDS

GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL

YEAR: 1959

"Living Doll" is a song written by Lionel Bart made popular by Cliff Richard and the Shadows (then still 'the Drifters') in 1959. It has topped the UK charts twice; in its original version in 1959 (their first number 1 single) and a new version recorded in 1986 in aid of Comic Relief.

"Living Doll" was written for the film Serious Charge. Lionel Bart had been approached by film producer Mickey Delamar to write songs for the film. The idea for the song came on a Sunday morning in October 1958 while reading a newspaper and seeing an advert for a child's doll. The doll was said to "kneel, walk, sit and sing". Bart recounted, "I was looking at the back pages and there was a small advert for a doll which could apparently do everything. I wrote the song in ten minutes." The song was written as an up-tempo light rock and roll song (rather than a ballad), and this is how Cliff Richard performs the song in the film.

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll

Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a living doll

Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul

Got the one and only walking talking, living doll

Take a look at her hair, it's real

And if you don't believe what I say, just feel

I'm gonna lock her up in a trunk

So no big hunk can steal her away from me

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll

Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a living doll

Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul

Got the one and only walking talking, living doll

Well, take a look at her hair, it's real

And if you don't believe what I say, just feel

Gonna lock her up in a trunk

So no big hunk can steal her away from me

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll

Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a living doll

Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul

Got the one and only walking talking, living doll.

(One, one, one)

Talkin' in my sleep at night

Makin' myself crazy

(Out of my mind, out of my mind)

Wrote it down and read it out

Hopin' it would save me

(Too many times, too many times)

My love, he makes me feel like nobody else

Nobody else

But my love, he doesn't love me so I tell myself

I tell myself

One, don't pick up the phone

You know he's only calling

'Cause he's drunk and alone

Two, don't let him in

You have to kick him out again

Three, don't be his friend

You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'

And if you're under him

You ain't getting over him

I got new rules, I count 'em

I got new rules, I count 'em

I gotta tell them to myself

I got new rules, I count 'em

I gotta tell them to myself

I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backwards

(Nowhere to turn) no way

(Nowhere to turn) no

Now I'm standing back from it, I finally see the pattern

(I never learn, I never learn)

But my love, he doesn't love me so I tell myself

I tell myself

I do, I do, I do

One, don't pick up the phone

You know he's only calling

'Cause he's drunk and alone

Two, don't let him in

You have to kick him out again

Three, don't be his friend

You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'

And if you're under him

You ain't getting over him

I got new rules, I count 'em

I got new rules, I count 'em

I gotta tell them to myself

I got new rules, I count 'em

I gotta tell them to myself

Practice makes perfect

I'm still tryna' learn it by heart

(I got new rules, I count 'em)

Eat, sleep, and breathe it

Rehearse and repeat it, 'cause I

(I got new, I got new, I got new)

One, don't pick up the phone

You know he's only calling

'Cause he's drunk and alone

Two, don't let him in

You have to kick him out again

Three, don't be his friend

You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'

And if you're under him

You ain't getting over him

I got new rules, I count 'em

I got new rules, I count 'em

I gotta tell them to myself

I got new rules, I count 'em

(Baby, you know I count 'em)

I gotta tell them to myself

Don't let him in, don't let him in

Don't, don't, don't, don't

Don't be his friend, don't be his friend

Don't, don't, don't, don't

Don't let him in, don't let him in

Don't, don't, don't, don't

Don't be his friend, don't be his friend

Don't, don't, don't

You gettin' over him.

I’ve been hearing symphonies

Before all I heard was silence

A rhapsody for you and me

And every melody is timeless

Life was stringing me along

Then you came and you cut me loose

Was solo singing on my own

Now I can’t find a key without you

And now your song is on repeat

And I’m dancing on to your heartbeat

And when you’re gone

I feel incomplete

So if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your Symphony

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Symphony

Like a love song on the radio

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

I’m sorry if it’s all too much

Every day you’re here I’m healing

And I was running out of luck

I never thought I’d find this feeling

Cause I’ve been hearing symphonies

Before all I heard was silence

A rhapsody for you and me (rhapsody for you and me)

And every melody is timeless

And now your song is on repeat

And I’m dancing on to your heartbeat

And when you’re gone

I feel incomplete

So if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your Symphony

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Symphony

Like a love song on the radio

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ah, ah

And now your song is on repeat

And I’m dancing on to your heartbeat

And when you’re gone

I feel incomplete

So if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your Symphony

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Symphony

Like a love song on the radio

Symphony

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Symphony

Like a love song on the radio

Will you hold me tight and not let go?
