I Can't Get Away

Yeah, just like a puppet on a string, baby

My life to me don't mean a thing, girl

You pull the strings at your command, yes, you did, uh-huh

My life, my love is in your hands, sure 'nough

I said I, I, I can't get away, no, no, no, baby

Girl, I can't help myself, yeah

Ooh, just like the 'iachi of a clown, huh

Don't you know sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down, baby

But I don't mind, mind the pain, no, no, baby

'Cause I know, I know true love is to blame

I, I, I can't get away, no, no, no, no, baby

Lord, I can't help myself, come on, yeah

(No, I can't get away) Just can't get away, baby

(No, I can't get away)

(No, I can't get away)

I know it's true and so do you, yeah

Now, don't you know I've done everything you asked me to, baby

Baby, baby, so dangle me, do anything, yeah

You know, you know, you know I'm still your puppet on a string

Yes, I am

I said I, I, I can't get away, no, no, no

Girl, baby, I just can't help myself, ow, come on

No, no, I just can't get away

You know, you know I need you, baby

You know that I need you, baby
