Abba - I'm a Marionette

"You're so free, "
that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound,
pushed around, refugee
Something's wrong,
got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I had come from outer 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 told me how to talk,
how to walk, how to fall

Can't complain,
I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control,
lost my hold, is it safe?

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 look better on the photograph
if you laugh, that's okay

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 telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound,
pushed around, refugee
