CTS and Bill White - Puppet on a Chain

from State of the Heart 3 by Bill White and Friends

/

lyrics

CHORUS (spoken)
The breaking glass of lovelight; so bright
Left me crying N the rain
Hanging from your heartstrings
A puppet on a chain
Another heartbreak moment again

U said U were a dancer
Danced on MTV
But the flowers on your doorstep
Were not left there by me

The night we spent 2gether
I slept on the floor
When I learned U were a stripper
Stripping on the Jersey Shore

CHORUS

Small talk N the starlight
Dinner on New Year's Eve
U took off just B4 midnite
Your heart filled with deceit

I followed your taxi cab
2 the Jersey shore
I saw everything U did
Through a crack in the stage door

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The 1st time I tried 2 kiss U
I should have known when U turned your cheek
I should have known that very instant
I was 1 of your many freaks
I should have known when we danced a tango
I should have known when U licked my ear
I should have known, I should have...

I tried so hard 2 hate U
Believing it was never real
But there's no way 2 mistake U
Mistake just how I feel

The heart wants what the heart wants
And all I want is U
But the truth is I don't have U
Even though U say I do

CHORUS
