Whisper in my ear oh scold me
I realised the things you told me
What do hell am goin' so oooh ooooh!

At school I used to think the teacher
Was nothing but a high school preacher
But now am growin ol' oow woo woo!

Am not a man made puppet
To pull my strings just stop it!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Hear what I say, look! No strings
I thought of every thing no strings
I not a no strings
I thought of everything
Gonna make you believe in me

Told me 'bout the word of Jesus
How we cut with scissors
But now am on my own oooh ooooh!

Like the fire can break in thunder
The wheels are gonna trap me under
When I take to the road mmhh mmhh mmhh

Am not a man made puppet
To pull my strings just stop it!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Hear what I say, look!

Am not a man made puppet
To pull my strings just stop it!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Hear what I say, look!
