Lyrics
It's time I get what I deserve
Act like he don't know what I'm worth
We spend a lot of time talking
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 taking control, oh, oh
Wrapped 'round our fingers, they couldn't tell us
No, no, no
Welcome to the puppet show
Where we play 'em like their plastic dolls
They'll do anything, anything, anything
When you got 'em hanging by a string, by a string
Gonna play 'em like their toys
We'll make 'em do what we enjoy
They'll do anything
When you got 'em by a string
(Pop it, pop it, pop it, pop it)
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 (want you to)
Playin' puppet master, everything's so easy
I'll make all of my own dreams come true, ooh-ooh-ooh
Imagine a world where we could play different roles
Where we be taking control, oh, oh, oh
Wrapped 'round our fingers, they couldn't tell us
No, no, no
Welcome to the puppet show (to the puppet show)
Where we play 'em like their plastic dolls (like their plastic dolls)
They'll do anything, anything, anything (ooh, ooh)
When you got 'em hangin' by a string, by a string (yeah, yeah)
Gonna play 'em like their toys (like their toys)
We'll make 'em do what we enjoy (ha-ah)
They'll do anything (anything, babe)
When you've got 'em by a string (by a string, yeah)
Follow my lead
Just leave the whole thing up to me
My expertise
Yeah, yeah
Welcome to the puppet show
Where we play 'em like their plastic dolls
They'll do anything, anything
When you got 'em hangin' by a string, by a string, yeah
Welcome to the puppet show (welcome to the show, ooh)
Where we play 'em like their plastic dolls (like their plastic dolls)
They'll do anything, anything, anything (they'll do anything)
When you've got 'em hangin' by a string, by a string (by a string)
Gonna play 'em like their toys (play 'em like their toys)
We'll make 'em do what we enjoy (make 'em do what we enjoy)
They'll do anything (anything)
When you've got 'em by a string (string)
