Marvelettes, The - Marionette Lyrics

He had a hold on you
He was your puppeteer (Puppeteer)
You did everything he wanted you to
Now he's not here, and you're lost by fear
'Cause now he's not here

Marionette, that's what you get
Marionette, that's what you get
Because you let him pull the strings
That made you do the things that you're so sorry for
'Cause now he don't love you no more
(Love you no more)

Woo, don't you know he had complete control? (Complete control)
Ah, you could do nothing alone (Complete control)
Now without him you ain't got no soul
I tell you, you're on your own
Yeah, now that he's gone
Ooh, you're on your own, woo

Marionette, that's what you get
Ooh, Marionette, that's what you get
Because you let him pull the strings
That made you do the things that you're so sorry for
'Cause now he don't love you no more
Don't love you no more

For you he was no good, no no
He thought your heart was made of wood
Yeah, yeah (Made of wood, made of wood)

He made you act so strange (Foolish)
Foolish and uncomposed, oh yeah (Somehow)
Somehow he seemed to change
But that's how it goes for cutting his clothes, yeah
That's how it goes, ooh

Marionette, that's what you get
Ooh, Marionette, that's what you get
Marionette, that's what you get
Marionette, that's what you get
Marionette, that's what you get
