Puppet On A String

[Verse 1: Melanie]
Like a puppet on a string, I return
My elastic keeps retracting, I just won't learn

[Pre-Chorus: Nicole with Melanie]
I just can't let go
I just can't let go
I just can't let go
I just can't let, let, let

[Chorus: All]
Every time I say I'm gonna let go
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you
Even when I'm headin' out the back door
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

[Verse 2: Shaznay]
Warning signs flash in my head, won't hold me back
You're a hazard on a good day, but I still want that

[Pre-Chorus: Nicole with Melanie]
I just can't let go
I just can't let go
I just can't let go
I just can't let, let, let

[Chorus: All]
Every time I say I'm gonna let go
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you
Even when I'm headin' out the back door
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

[Bridge: Natalie with Nicole]
You call and I come running
Like the wind in a storm I'll blow right into you
Come back like I'm a boomerang
Let me go and I'll retract
You call and I come running
Like the wind in a storm I'll blow right into you
Come back like I'm a boomerang
Let me go and I'll retract (to you)

[Chorus: All]
Every time I say I'm gonna let go
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you
Even when I'm headin' out the back door
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you

[Outro: All]
Runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin' on back, baby runnin' on back to you
(To you)
