Verse 1:
You don’t even know where I grew up
What I’ve been through
Why I’m so tough
Why I seem to
Always take control
Always land on my feet
Why I’ve got to keep pushing and a movin’
You ain’t seen what my eyes have seen and
You don’t understand that I’ve had to struggle and to keep fighting
Just to survive and to just stay alive, oh baby
Bridge:
You don’t know a single thing about me
You only show interest when you want to be
On the low
You like a little mystery, but you think I can’t play the game
You only know what I allow you to know
You only see the parts that I allow to show
You’re gonna be the one caught up because I’m always two steps ahead
Chorus:
You think that you’re a mind reader
That you see beyond my world theater
But I will be the one pulling the strings
So, welcome to my puppet show
You’re just another one
The world’s my stage and I will write the plays ‘cause
I won’t be played
I ain’t the one to give it away
The price is high
Pick a seat, get comfortable
And welcome to my puppet show
You’re just another one
Verse 2:
You keep on trying to tell me who I am
Like you know me better than I know myself
But you don’t see that I’m the one in charge
My ticket prices keep going up among the stars
And I picked you just like I picked all the others for a preview
‘Cause the plot thickens with every little string move
Baby, don’t blink, before you know we’ll be at the intermission
Bridge 2:
You call my bluff, but you’re the one surprised
‘Cause you think I won’t do what I say I will
Don’t forget, I’m runnin’ this show right here
And no one makes a move in my world without my say so
You think I’m blind, but this is my stage
The lights are on and you’re the star in my new play
The gig is up
You’re caught up in the puppet strings
And you don’t even see that I’m the puppet master of the scene
Chorus x 2
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
You’re just a puppet, baby
You’re just a puppet, baby
You’re just a puppet
