  • Every time you look at me
    I'm as helpless as can be
    I become a puppet on a string
    You can do 'most anything to me
    All you do is touch my hand
    And your wish is my command
    I become a puppet on a string
    You can do 'most anything to me
    If you really love me
    Darling please be kind
    I offer you the truest love
    That you will ever find
    Take my heart and please be fair
    Handle it with loving care
    For I'm just a puppet on a string
    You can do 'most anything to me
    If you really love me
    Darling please be kind
    I offer you the truest love
    That you will ever find
    Take my heart and please be fair
    Handle it with loving care
    For I'm just a puppet on a string
    You can do 'most anything to me
    You can do 'most anything to me Writer/s: ROY C. BENNETT, SID TEPPER
