I'm just a little tin soldier in your hands

I'm good for nothing but to obey your commands

You've never really loved me i know

So wind me up let me go



I'm just a play thing till you see someone else

And then you leave me alone on the shelf

But even tin soldiers have hearts don't you know

So wind me up let me go



You don't really need me you've a hundred other toys

And tear drops don't look good in the eyes of soldier boys



So pick me up and hold me one more time

That's just consolation for this heart of mine

Whisper a sweet word to the one who loves you

So then wind me up let me go

Then wind me up let me go
