"PUPPET SHOW (City Pop Version)" lyrics
It's time I get what I deserve
Act like he don't know what I'm worth
We spend a lot of time talkin'
But it feels like I'm never heard
Listen to what comes out my mouth
Before you try to take me out
You oughta know what I'm about
Treat me like a lady, this ain't up for debating
Boy, stop playin' 'fore it goes a different route
Imagine a world
Where we could play different roles
Where girls be takin' control
Oh, oh
Wrapped 'round our fingers
They couldn't tell us no, no, no
Welcome to the puppet show
Where we play 'em like their plastic dolls
They'll do anything, anything
When you got 'em hanging by a string, by a string
Gonna play 'em like their toys
We'll make 'em do what we enjoy
They'll do anything
When you got 'em by a string
Don't like the look of this picture
Boy, you think that I'm in love witcha?
Ha-ha, cry me a river
Thought you were slick to lead but you're an extra
I'ma do it my way, ain't apologetic
I might cut you off like "Bye, Felicia" with it
I'm the controller, play 'em like Atari
It ain't game over till I say so, got it?
Automatic when I want for it to please me
Might just make you do the things I want you to
Playing puppet master everything's so easy
I'll make all of my own dreams come true
Imagine a world
Where we could play different roles
Where we be takin' control
Oh, oh
Wrapped 'round our fingers
They couldn't tell us no, no, no
Welcome to the puppet show
Where we play 'em like their plastic dolls
They'll do anything, anything
When you got 'em hanging by a string, by a string
Gonna play 'em like their toys
We'll make 'em do what we enjoy
They'll do anything (Anything, yeah)
When you got 'em by a string
Follow my lead
Just leave the whole thing up to me
My expertise
Yeah, yeah
Welcome to the puppet show
Where we play 'em like their plastic dolls
They'll do anything, anything
When you got 'em hanging by a string, by a string
Welcome to the puppet show (Welcome to the Show)
Where we play 'em like their plastic dolls (Like their plastic dolls)
