AM I A TOY OR A TREASURE
(Altman / Singer / Taylor)

Kay Starr - 1954


Am I a toy
Or a treasure?
Which of the two
Am I to you?

Am I a puppet
That you dangle on a string?
Or is your love for me
A rare and precious thing?

Oh, will I be yours
To cherish forever
Or thrown away
One thoughtless day?

Am I to be
A here to stay thing
Or just another play thing?
Am I a toy
Or a treasure to you?

Am I a toy
Or a treasure?
Which of the two
Am I to you?

Am I a puppet
That you dangle on a string?
Or is your love for me
A rare and precious thing?

Oh, will I be yours
To cherish forever
Or thrown away
One thoughtless day?

Am I to be
A here to stay thing
Or will I be another play thing?
Am I a toy
Or a treasure to you?

Am I a toy
Or a treasure to you?
