You've been pulling strings since we had metJust how long do you think I can go on giving When I'm getting nothing in return?Baby, baby, you took everything And you gave me nothing in return for heartacheBaby, baby, gonna break the string I'm a real man now, I'm not a wooden puppetBaby, baby, you took everything And you gave me nothing in return for heartacheBaby, baby, gonna break the string I'm a real man now, I'm not a wooden puppet
