I'm just a little tin soldier in your hand

I'm good for nothing but to obey your commands

You never leave me love me i know

So wind me up let me go

I'm just your plaything til you see someone else

And 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
