Puppet On A String

Elvis Presley · Hit Story [2005]

Every time you look at me

I,m as helpless as can be

I become a puppet on a string

You can do 'most anything to me



All you do is touch my hand

And your wish is my command

I become a puppet on a string

You can do 'most anything to me



If you really love me

Darling please be kind

I offer you the truest love

That you will ever find



Take my heart and please be fair

Handle it with loving care

For I'm just a puppet on a string

You can do 'most anything to me



If you really love me

Darling please be kind

I offer you the truest love

That you will ever find



Take my heart and please be fair

Handle it with loving care

For I'm just a puppet on a string

You can do 'most anything to me

You can do 'most anything to me
