    How is this the same song that has been around all of these years and I never heard the lyrics properly. My mind is truly blown away right now, I honestly don't believe what you have done to this song. It's beautiful, It is absolutely beautiful Janet. I hope that you get to take a ride or 2 before you go back to civilization.❤❤❤

    I was expecting the change in tone, but the altered lyrics? Man, I wasn't prepared for that, just making the song sombre would've been one thing, but turning something so upbeat and goofy heartbreakingly autobiographical with such minor alterations was a stroke of brilliance

    I should know you well enough to know this wouldn't be the normal humor of this song, but I never expected this song to give me chills like this.
    It fits so well, it is a sad song. Not even needing the lyrics changes, but they emphasize it. I've always thought there something wrong with the song, you've portrayed it.
    Wow. Yeah, complete chills.

    💚Lyrics:
    Verse 1:
    I'm a blond bimbo girl in your fantasy world
    Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your polly...
    Just a doll, rock n' roll, feel the glamour and pink
    Touch me here, touch me there, just your dolly...
    You can touch, you can play cause you say I'm always yours...
    Refrain:
    I'm a Barbie Girl in your Barbie World
    Life in plastic, It's fantastic
    You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
    Imagination, I'm just your creation...
    Verse 2:
    Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
    I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
    I jump in with your friend, please don't do it again
    Hit the town for a run, call it a party...
    Please don't touch, please don't play, I can say I'm always yours...
    Refrain 2:
    I'm a Barbie Girl, trapped in Barbie World
    Life in pastic, is it fantastic?
    When you just brush my hair, undress me everywhere...
    Imagination, am I just your creation?!
    Bridge:
    Come on Barbie, let's go party...
    Come on Barbie, just go party
    Come on Barbie, please go party!
    Come on Barbie, you don't have to, you don't have to party...
    Outro:
    I'm a Barbie Girl, in my Barbie World
    Imagination
    I'm my own creation...💚
