"Poor Marionette" lyrics

It must be nice
To have the power
How you control my tears, control my laughter
I'm not surprised
You used me well
Expecting more of me than anyone else

Fool me once, fool me twice
Hide behind your snake eyes
Mister nice guy till the curtains come down
Hit me once, hit me twice
Better play your cards right
You know I'm the reason that crowd bows down

Paint me, string me
Show off your little dolly
Rip me, yank me
Pull my cheeks I'm smiling
Oh poor marionette

You control the way I feel and move
There is no show I wouldn't do for you
But a change of mood, a different scene
You could cause me a bitter pain

Fool me once, fool me twice
Hide behind your snake eyes
Mister nice guy till the curtains come down
Hit me once, hit me twice
Better play your cards right
You know I'm the reason that the crowd bows down

Paint me, string me
Show off your little dolly
Rip me, yank me
Pull my cheeks I'm smiling
Oh poor marionette

Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh

Paint me, string me
Show off your little dolly
Rip me, yank me
Pull my cheeks I'm smiling
Oh poor marionette
