I’m too up front to turn my back on this Swear you did a number on me like some raffle tickets Lucky you, you stuck with me might as well tattoo this shit Be like that sometimes, you show up I be acting different Maybe I’m crazy But if I lose you Oh I don’t know if I’ll survive You drive me crazy For your amusement And I’m along for the ride Got me talking to myself Saying to myself “oh no“ Sweet nightmare not a beautiful dream Should move it to the left, move it to the left Oh I, know I know better, know I know better So why do I feel like your puppet You pull my strings while you play me Why do I move with your movements Up on your stage I’m performing Left you but I’m back here on your sofa Thought I needed space I want you closer So why do I move with your movement Under your strings like a puppet? I don’t mind the strings attached Big fax no printer Why you over there looking like a snack And I’m the whole dinner Sweet like stevia No Wonder Stevie isn’t superstitious I don’t see no competition that’s a Bird Box You’re the ribbon in my sky Trippin playing chicken Hit me like a head on collision. Maybe I’m crazy But if I lose you Oh I don’t know if I’ll survive You drive me crazy For your amusement And I’m along for the ride Got me talking to myself Saying to myself “oh no“ Sweet nightmare not a beautiful dream Should move it to the left, move it to the left Oh I, know I know better, know I know better So why do I feel like your puppet You pull my strings while you play me Why do I move with your movements Up on your stage I’m performing Left you but I’m back here on your sofa Thought I needed space I want you closer So why do I move with your movement Under your strings like a puppet?
