[Intro: music box melody, vinyl crackle, sub bass enters] [Verse 1] Pink lace, and one more button that you never saw undone, I point your eyes down at my breasts, and your eyes do what they're told. My eyes are up here, papi, but don't look up at me, my face is where the truth is, and the truth is ice cold. [Verse 2] They loaded me in Hermosillo with the packets that I carried, called me muñeca every mile across the line. I woke up in a body bag with no heartbeat in my chest, and the first man who came to claim me was the first one that I bled. [Chorus] So go on, call me Babydoll, it's the only thing they gave me that I kept. Go on, call me Babydoll, say it sweet, and say it slow, and don't forget. [Verse 3] At the house I run it all and never say a word, every lock and every lamp set so nobody gets surprised. Rocket's watching from the stairs, waiting for my hand to slip, so I keep a knife for the night we break, and I keep her close. [Bridge: drums drop out, music box and voice only] Then a new girl at the door, too scared to even cry, asks if there's a bed, and what it's going to cost. And I hear myself say "nothing." Nothing. Come inside. And she looks me in the eyes, and says my name like it's mine. [Final Chorus: beat returns, softer, music box carries the melody] So go on, call me Babydoll, it's the only thing they gave me that I kept. Go on, call me Babydoll, say it sweet, and say it slow, and don't forget. [Outro: music box winds down and stops]
