Puppet

[Verse 1]
Some girls are soft as a flower
Some girls are like sweet tea
But this girl is more like a vampire
And sucked the blood from me
And it took a long time to notice
The fangs in this one's mouth
And I should have seen it coming
When she lied about being from the south

[Verse 2]
That girl's own daddy thinks she's a puppet
He told me once or twice
And she sold her soul to the devil
But the devil don't play nice
Now the puppet thinks she's a rock star
Lip singing my words all night
Now there's nothing "rock star" about that
But that sums her up just right

[Verse 3]
Whеre I'm from, we call that a phony
A body without a soul
I guess it takеs one ghost to know one
And that's what's so laughable

[Chorus]
(Ah) She was just a girl
She was just a girl
(Ah) I thought she was a woman, but she was just a girl
She was just a girl

[Verse 4]
This town's full of hopeless people
Just starving for the fame
Fake friends who become yes men
Climb ladders like it's a game
Well, this girl's got herself a posse
Of some pretty little city bros
Who think they're tough and come take my stuff
But make sure that I'm not home

[Verse 5]
She can keep all of my possessions
She stole from our old home
She can keep my cat and keep **** too
And keep guessing why she's alone
She'd be wise to avoid Detroit
And Texas too, at that
'Cause some friends of mine ain't happy
And they all can smell a rat

[Chorus]
(Ah) She was just a girl
She was just a girl
(Ah) I thought she was a woman, but she was just a girl
She was just a girl

[Bridge]
Thought she was an angel
I thought she had a soul
But she was just a devil
That spun out of control
I thought she had a backbone
I thought she was the world
I thought she was a woman
But she was just a girl
I thought she was an angel
I thought she had a soul
But she was just a devil
That spun out of control
I thought she had a backbone
I thought she was the world
I thought she was a woman
But she was just a girl
She was just a girl

[Outro]
She was just a girl
