Seen the way you control me
Ain't gon sugar-coat all that
Boy, don't you know you don't own me?
Like a puppet show so they sit on back and watch you...
Pull the strings, dress me up
Apologize, try to make up
The show goes on, they say
But I don't think that way
Draw the curtains, don't you know I'm hurtin'?
The show goes on, they say
But I don't think that way
Yeah, pull the strings
I'm not gonna live my life
Makin' sure you're satisfied
You f*cking blew the chance
Yeah, I don't give a damn
Pull the strings dress me up
Apologize, try to make up
The show goes on, they say
But I don't think that way
Draw the curtains, don't you know I'm hurtin'?
The show goes on, they say
But I don't think that way
Yeah, pull the strings (pull the strings)
Won't be treated as a doll
No, I won't fall
Not gon be under your rule
Overruled by a tool
Pull the strings dress me up
Apologize, try to make up
The show goes on, they say
But I don't think that way
No, I don't think that way, boy
