iyla - Strings Lyrics

Why do I feel like your puppet?
You pull my strings while you play me
Why do I move with your movements?
Up on your stage, I'm performing
Left you but I'm back here on your sofa
Thought I needed space, I want you closer
So why do I move with your movement
Under your strings like a puppet?

I'm too up front to turn my back on this
Swear you did a number on me like some raffle tickets
Lucky you, you stuck with me, might as well tattoo this
Be like that sometimes, you show up I be acting different

Maybe I'm crazy, but if I lose you
Oh, I don't know if I'll survive
You drive me crazy for your amusement
And I'm along-'long for the ride

Got me talking to myself, saying to myself, oh no
Sweet nightmare not a beautiful dream
Should move it to the left, move it to the left
Oh I, know I know better, know I know better

So why do I feel like your puppet?
You pull my strings while you play me
Why do I move with your movements?
Up on your stage, I'm performing
Left you but I'm back here on your sofa
Thought I needed space, I want you closer
So why do I move with your movement?
Under your strings like a puppet?

I don't mind the strings attached
Big fax no printer
Why you over there looking like a snack
And I'm the whole dinner
Sweet like stevia
No wonder Stevie isn't superstitious
I don't see no competition that's a Bird Box
You're the ribbon in my sky
Trippin', playin' chicken
Hit me like a head on collision

Maybe I'm crazy, but if I lose you
Oh, I don't know if I'll survive
You drive me crazy for your amusement
And I'm along-'long for the ride

Got me talking to myself, saying to myself, oh no
Sweet nightmare not a beautiful dream
Should move it to the left, move it to the left
Oh I, know I know better, know I know better

So why do I feel like your puppet?
You pull my strings while you play me
Why do I move with your movement?
Up on your stage, I'm performing
Left you but I'm back here on your sofa
Thought I needed space, I want you closer
So why do I move with your movement?
Under your strings like a puppet?

Maybe I'm crazy, but if I lose you
Oh, I don't know if I'll survive
You drive me crazy for your amusement
And I'm along-'long for the ride
