[Verse 1] I got a voodoo doll, She's about a foot tall. I put my needles in, And fill her full of sin. She never blinks or cries, Doesn't even move her eyes. Old stuffing and fabric skin, Hold the pain that is within. [Pre-Chorus] I know she's hiding all my fears, But I'm not ready yet. I know she's been my doll for years, And I haven't cut the thread. [Chorus] VOODOO! VOODOO, BABY! Rip the needles out and drive her crazy! VOODOO! VOODOO, CHILD! Stick 'em back in and drive her wild! [Verse 2] I see the holes I've made, The places where she's frayed. I used to love that little sneer, But now I hate the sight of her fear. I tell myself she cannot feel, That none of what I do is real. But every time I push one through, I know exactly what I do. [Verse 3] I look at what I've done, The damage one by one. I thought that I could make things right, By keeping all my hurt inside. Her little smile is wearing thin, I see the cracks beneath her skin. And in her empty button eyes, I see the man behind the lies. [Pre-Chorus] I know she's hiding all my fears, But I'm not ready yet. I know she's been my doll for years, And I haven't cut the thread. [Chorus] VOODOO! VOODOO, BABY! Rip the needles out and drive her crazy! VOODOO! VOODOO, CHILD! Stick 'em back in and drive her wild! [Verse 4] I can't take the needles back, Can't pull the knife out of her back. Can't mend the places I have torn, Can't make her like the day she was born. I can't unsay the things I've said, Can't pull the poison from her head. Can't make the little holes unbleed, Can't undo a single deed. [Verse 5] I held her close against my chest, And wished that I could give her rest. I never thought she'd feel the pain, Or that I'd want her whole again. I thought that saying I was wrong, Would fix the hurt I'd caused so long. But sorry doesn't mend a seam, Or wake her from a broken dream. [Outro – Quiet, Broken Voice] I got a voodoo doll, She's about a foot tall. I pulled the needles from her skin, But couldn't take away the sin. She never blinks or cries, Doesn't even move her eyes. I hold her close and wonder why... I ever needed her to cry.
