You come to me when everything is fine

Invade my privacy, get over the line

But I don't need anyone to watch my back

You come to me, and you drive me mad

When I tell you, then you take it bad

Don't get me wrong, but won't you cut me some slack?

I can smell the trouble on the way

It's getting hard to breathe, I'd better run away

I do as I please and I do what I want to do

And I say what I say and that's the way it goes

(As I like) As I like

(As I please) As I please

(As I feel) As I feel

I'm not a puppet on a string

You are suspicious because I act strange

You try to label me and to make me change

But I don't need anyone to tell me "Walk this way"

You got your eyes on me all the time

Feels like if I was up to commit a crime

But when you sell your soul

There's a price to pay

I can smell the trouble on the way

It's getting hard to breathe, I'd better run away

I do as I please and I do what I want to do

And I say what I say,and that's the way it goes

(As I like) As I like

(As I please) As I please

(As I feel) As I feel

I'm not a puppet on a string

II do as I please and I do what I want to do

And I say what I say and that's the way it goes

(As I like) As I like

(As I please) As I please

(As I feel) As I feel

I'm not a puppet on a string

I can smell the trouble on the way

It's getting hard to breathe, I'd better run away

I do as I please and I do what I want to do

And I say what I say and that's the way it goes

(As I like) As I like

(As I please) As I please

(As I feel) As I feel

I'm not a puppet on a string

I do as I please and I do what I want to do

And I say what I say and that's the way it goes

(As I like) As I like

(As I please) As I please

(As I feel) As I feel

I'm not a puppet on a string
