Marionette - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

She says, "Hey, wait

And listen now to what I've gotta say

I don't think I want it this way"

We've become some

Poor excuse of love that's come undone

And how did we get so numb?

[Pre-Chorus]

I wanna be in your control

(So) Unmerciful

(But) You can twist me and turn me

Just don't let me go

[Chorus]

I wanna be your puppet on a string

Baby, I'm not holding back, we can do anything

And even if I am crazy it's 'cause you made me this way

We're as close to love as we'll ever get

I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette

[Verse 2]

So let's play the charade

I'm helpless like a child lost in the dark

And I need you to light a spark

It's a game, but the same

I need to feel that this is real somehow

So don't disconnect me now

[Pre-Chorus]

I wanna be in your control

(So) Unmerciful

(But) You can twist me and turn me

Just don't let me go

[Chorus]

I wanna be your puppet on a string

Baby, I'm not holding back, we can do anything

And even if I am crazy it's 'cause you made me this way

We're as close to love as we'll ever get

I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette

[Bridge]

We're lying head to head

And toe to toe

And we're body to body

I feel you beside me

We're in this masquerade

A beautiful game to play

It's so powerful with you controlling me

[Chorus]

I wanna be your puppet on a string

Baby, I'm not holding back, we can do anything

And even if I am crazy it's 'cause you made me this way

We're as close to love as we'll ever get

I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette
