You're playing me just like a game
You're telling me just what to do
You're driving me into the fast lane
It sounds crazy but it's true
I'm just a puppet on a string
And you're holding me up high
I'm just a worn and helpless thing
Every time you pass me by
You're playing all the cards for me
You're holding me in your hand
Surly one day you will see
I want to be free in another land
I'm just a puppet on a string
And you're holding me up high
I'm just a worn and helpless thing
Every time you pass me by
I'm just a puppet on a string
And you're holding me up high
I'm just a worn and helpless thing
Every time you pass me by
I'm just a weak minded fool
You hold the key to my life
You always seem to play it cool
I just want you to be my wife
I'm just a puppet on a string
And you're holding me up high
I'm just a worn and helpless thing
Every time you pass me by
I'm just a puppet on a string
And you're holding me up high
I'm just a worn and helpless thing
Every time you pass me by
