Puppet on a String - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Melanie]

Like a puppet on a string

I return

My elastic keeps retracting

I just won't learn

[Pre-Chorus: Nicole with Melanie]

I just can't let go

I just can't let, let, let

Every time I say I'm gonna let go

I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

Even when I'm headin' out the back door

I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

Warning signs flash in my head

Won't hold me back

You're a hazard on a good day

But I still want that

[Pre-Chorus: Nicole with Melanie]

I just can't let go

I just can't let, let, let

Every time I say I'm gonna let go

I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

Even when I'm headin' out the back door

I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

[Bridge: Natalie with Nicole]

You call and I come running

Like the wind in a storm I'll blow right into you

Come back like I'm a boomerang

Let me go and I'll retract

You call and I come running

Like the wind in a storm I'll blow right into you

Come back like I'm a boomerang

Let me go and I'll retract (To you)

Every time I say I'm gonna let go

I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

Even when I'm headin' out the back door

I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

Runnin', runnin'

I keep runnin', runnin'

I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

(To you)
