Lyrics

Puppet

[Verse 1]

I thought you were different

Running round, playing games, you ain't different, no, oh

I told you my feelings

But you don't care, you just feed me your reasons, no, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I could ask you so many questions

But I'd rather let you see it for yourself

I'm fed up with your excuses

Make up your mind already

[Chorus]

Make up your mind or I'm going

If this is true, why don't you show it?

Stop controlling me, all of a sudden

I ain't your puppet, I ain't your puppet

Make up your mind or I'm going

If this is true, why don't you show it?

Stop controlling me, all of a sudden

I ain't your puppet, I ain't your puppet

[Verse 2]

You said I was special

Like you said to her, left me hurt, thought you meant it, oh, oh

Your words so confusing

Were you lying when you said I was worth it? Oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Some nights I could ask you so many questions

But I'd rathеr let you see it for yourself

I'm fed up with your еxcuses

Make up your mind already

[Chorus]

Make up your mind or I'm going

If this is true, why don't you show it?

Stop controlling me, all of a sudden

I ain't your puppet, I ain't your puppet

(Don't hide, you're not what I need)

Make up your mind or I'm going

(You're not what I need, babe)

If this is true, why don't you show it?

(You're not what I need, babe)

Stop controlling me, all of a sudden

(You're not what I need)

I ain't your puppet, I ain't your puppet

[Bridge]

Been running round in circles

Getting kinda dizzy, how you blame it all with it

I used to want you

You be switching up 'cause I guess you kinda misfit

You could've been mine but you wasting my time

You could've been, could've been, could've been, could've been mine, yeah

You think I'm not listening

I see that you don't give a shit

Now I've been sitting on all the facts

I'm so done with this, I ain't your puppet

[Chorus]

Make up your mind or I'm going

If this is true, why don't you show it?

Stop controlling me, all of a sudden

I ain't your puppet, I ain't your puppet

(Don't hide, you're not what I need)

Make up your mind or I'm going

(You're not what I need, babe)

If this is true, why don't you show it?

(You're not what I need, babe)

Stop controlling me, all of a sudden

(You're not what I need)

I ain't your puppet, I ain't your puppet
