I'm just a little tin soldier in your hand
I'm good for nothing, but to obey your commands
You never really love me, I know
So wind me up, let me go
I'm just your plaything 'til you see someone else A
nd then you'll 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 teardrops 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
Let me go
