about

I wrote this track while living in a remote cabin in the Texas Hill Country. LA producer, Connect the Dots, worked his studio magic and took it to the next level. Hope you like my synths!

lyrics

I am your Paperdoll, Your Paperdoll.
Easy fold on, Easy pull Off.
I am your Paperdoll, Your Paperdoll.
Easy fold on, Easy pull Off.

Origami me! Oh you're so arty.
95 degree makes me a devotee.
45 degree, diagonally,
Overlap that flap.
Overlap it handsomely

and crease my crease
crease my crease
firmly
you can crease my crease
crease my crease
and dance with me

I'm your Paperdoll, Your Paperdoll.
Easy fold on, Easy pull Off.
I am your Paperdoll, Your Paperdoll.
Easy fold on, Easy pull Off.

Accordion style
on my lily of the Nile.
Bend and beguile
my pretty paper pile.
Mighty versatile
so fancy is my flat file.
Actuate my poster style.
Wrap me 'round your fine fertile.

And cut me up.
You can cut me up... like a rug
Cut me up.
Cut me up.
And dance with me.

I am your Paperdoll, Your Paperdoll.
Easy fold on, Easy pull Off.
I am your Paperdoll, Your Paperdoll.
Easy fold on, Easy pull Off.

There's a dotted line
where you take the time
to fold it right
so it fits me tight.
So tightly fits.
Puttin' on my ritz.
Dress me up the way
that you'd like to play ... with me.

Shear it, smock it, tuck it, ruck it,
pucker it, ply it... don't deny it.
Rush it, rivel it, doggy ear it
Groove it gather it, make me slather it OH!

Your Paperdoll, Paperdoll.
Easy fold on, Easy pull Off.
I am your Paperdoll, Your Paperdoll.
Easy fold on, Easy pull Off.

From the sweltry swamp waters of the Texas coast, Amanda Raby is bewitching the Americas. Fans say she sounds like, “Cyndi Lauper meets Portishead at a Southern witch’s rally”.
Raby’s spellbinding Wizard-Pop style is formalized by poppy synths, folky guitar, enchanting vocals, and saucy lyrics bent on sorcery. ... more
