De qué habla
Una mujer se compara con un muñeco de resorte en manos de su amante: salta cada vez que el amor llama y queda olvidada en la estantería cuando él se cansa de jugar. Le suplica que no la abandone, aunque al final le advierte que algún día podría ser ella quien se marche.
Letra
Stop, don't say you'll put me down.
Love, don't go away,
drop my feet back on the ground,
open your arms, let me stay.
Hold me like you know you should,
don't leave me on the shelf
like a doll you throw away
so sad and lonely all by myself.
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box.
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on my spring,
a toy used up when it stops.
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
because for your love I'd do anything.
Who just keeps my heart around?,
Loves to pull the strings?,
You, and when it's upside down,
look at the way that it swings.
I can't help the way I feel,
it's you and no one else.
Comes the tune, but all too son,
I'm just a doll put back on the shelf.
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box.
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on my spring,
a toy used up when it stops.
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
because for your love I'd do anything.
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la la la la...
Hey, hear what I say:
you'll find someday that I walked away from you,
so say I've got to stay
and from today it's love that's gonna break through.
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box.
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on my spring,
a toy used up when it stops.
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
because for your love I'd do anything.
