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
