Lyrics - I'm 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, it’s insane!
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’ll 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
