  • I wonder if one day that,
    You'll say that, you care
    If you say you love me madly,
    I'll gladly, be there
    Like a puppet on a string

    Love is just like a merry-go-round
    With all the fun of the fair
    One day I'm feeling down on the ground
    Then I'm up in the air
    Are you leading me on?
    Tomorrow will you be gone?

    I wonder if one day that,
    You'll say that, you care
    If you love me madly,
    I'll gladly, be there
    Like a puppet on a string

    I may win on the roundabout
    Then I'll lose on the swings
    In or out, there is never a doubt
    Just who's pulling the strings
    I'm all tied up to you
    But where's it leading me to?

    I wonder if one day that,
    You'll say that, you care
    If you say you love me madly,
    I'll gladly, be there
    Like a puppet on a string

    I wonder if one day that,
    You'll say that, you care
    If you say you love me madly,
    I'll gladly, be there
    Like a puppet on a string
