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 debatin'
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 tеll us no, no, no
Welcome to the puppеt show
Where we play 'em like they're plastic dolls
They'll do anything, anything, anything
When you got 'em hangin'
By a string, by a string
Gonna play 'em like they're toys
We'll make 'em do what we enjoy
They'll do anything
When you got 'em by a string
Puppet-pet, puppet, puppet
Don't like the look of this picture
Boy, you think
That I'm in love with you
Ha-ha, cry me a river
Thought you were slick to lead
But you an extra
I'ma do it my way, ain't apologetic
I might cut you off
Like bye, Felicia with it
I'm a controller, play 'em like Atari
It ain't game over
'til 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
Playin' 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
