[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
(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)
