[Chorus: Both]
Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet

[Bridge: Tammi Terrell, Both]
Oh, I'm yours to have and to hold
Darling, you've got full control of your puppet

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet (Oh, yes I am) Mmm
Snap your fingers and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet (Oh, darling)

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
Listen, your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, yeah, I'm your puppet
I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you feel blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
Just pull them little strings, and I'll sing you a song, I'm your puppet (Oh, woah) Ooh
Make me do right, or make me do wrong, I'm your puppet (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
Treat me good and I'll do anything, yeah
Mmm, I'm just a puppet and you hold my string, I'm your puppet

[Outro: Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell]
Darlin', darlin', pull the strings (Mm, baby)
Let me sing you a song, baby (Any day, yeah)
I'm your puppet, baby
You can sing to me all night long
Honey, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll kiss your lips
Honey, yeah (Oh, oh)
I'm your puppet
