I'm like a puppet hanging on a string With a snap of her finger how I come a running You pick me up and then you let me down All I know is you'd better find yourself another clown Hey little girl the time has come to say That I've got to take my love away Every day that I remain I know I just can't take the pain that you will cause inside my fool heart I was a plaything that you could enjoy Can't you see that I'm a real boy If you think I'm made of wood Then won't you tell me why my life is shattered all to pieces I'm like a puppet hanging on a string With a snap of her finger how I come a running You pick me up and then you let me down All I know is you'd better find yourself another clown How long can I act like a marionette You've been fooling since we have met Just how long do you think I can go on giving when I'm getting nothing in return Baby, baby you took everything And you gave me nothing in return but heartache Baby, baby you've gotta break the string I'm a real man now I'm not a wooden puppet (Baby, baby you took everything) (And you gave me nothing in return but heartache) (Baby, baby you've gotta break the string) (I'm a real man now I'm not a wooden puppet)
