Lyrics - I Am A Marionette by Abba

"
You're so free", that's what everybody's telling me
Yet
I feel
I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
Something's wrong, got a feeling that
I don't belong
As if
I had come from outer space, out of place, like
King
Kong
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as
I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette,
I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall
Can't complain,
I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening
I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as
I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette,
I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown"
Look this way, just a little smile", is what they say"
You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay"
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as
I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette,
I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown"
You're so free", that's what everybody's telling me
Yet
I feel
I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
