ABBA - I’m A Marionette (B-side to Take A Chance On Me) Lyrics

You're so free
That's what everybody's tellin' me
Yet I feel like I'm an outward bound
Pushed around refuge

Something's wrong
Got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I have come from out of 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 taught me how to talk
How to walk, how to fall

Can't complain
I 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 o.k.!!

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 tellin' me
Yet I feel like I'm an outward bound
Pushed around refugee
