I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly Be there Like a puppet on a string Love is just like a merry-go-round With all the fun of a fair One day I'm feeling down on the ground Then I'm up in the air Are you leading me on?

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there Like a puppet on a string I may win on the roundabout Then I'll lose on the swings In or out, there is never a doubt Just who's pulling the strings I'm all tied up in you But where's it leading me to? I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there Like a puppet on a string I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there Like a puppet on a string Like a puppet on a... String

Twisting my intentions, shoving words into my mouth How do I feel so bad for how bad you hurt me now? You convinced me that I stabbed myself in the back Even though I can't reach the handle Maybe, if I struck a match, it would burn the whole place down All this air's so gas lit, I can smell the toxins now You throw pictures at the wall and leave me with the mess And then act like all this is normal I'm done sweeping glass and fixing frames I'm done telling myself that you could change for me Oh-oh, oh, oh And I won't be the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string Hmm, the puppet on your string Paint me as the culprit and you frame me for your crime Make me think the words you said are made up in my mind Keep me in the dark 'til your intentions come to the light And then say I just had my eyes closed (hmm) I know the rules I'm never gonna win your game It's time to say that I'm done sweeping glass and fixing frames I'm done telling myself that you could change for me Oh-oh, oh, oh And I won't be the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string Hmm, the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string Hmm, the puppet on your string If I don't leave now I won't ever walk away It's hard to say, but I'm done sweeping glass and fixing frames I'm done telling myself you could change for me Oh-oh, oh, oh I won't be the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string

I've got the world on a string Sittin' on a rainbow Got the string around my finger What a world, what a life, I'm in love I've got a song that I sing I can make the rainbow Any time I move my finger Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love?

You know I lose, you know I win You know I call for the shape I'm in. It's just a game you see me play, Only real in the way That I feel from day to day. Although the answer is not unknown, I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown. It's not all right to say goodbye, And the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing. No, the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing. It's only real in the way That I feel from day to day. No, the world on a string Doesn't mean a thing.

Guess who just got back today? Those wild eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, haven't much to say But man, I still think those cats are great They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy The boys are back in town You know the chick that used to dance a lot Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot I mean she was steaming That night over at Johnny's place Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face Man we just fell about the place If that chick don't want to know, forget her Friday night they'll be dressed to kill Down at Dino's bar and grill The drink will flow and blood will spill If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long It won't be long till summer comes Now that the boys are here again The boys are back in town
