I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
You're so free that's what everybody's telling me
You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
Look this way, just a little smile, is what they say
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
Can't complain, I've got no one but myself to blame
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
Songwriters: Benny Goran Br Andersson, Bjoern K Ulvaeus
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
As if I have come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
Something's happening, I can't control, lost my hold, it's insane
And somebody taught me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall

I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
