Who holds the puppet strings to my heart?
Who holds the puppet strings to my heart?
Who holds the puppet strings to my heart?
At the end of the day when it's getting dark
I gave 'em to you, now use it

Oh yeah
What do you do at the end of the day?
Gave you my heart and you walked away
Speaking so soft when you're calling my name
Gave you my heart and you walked away
[Instrumental Bridge]
What do you do at the end of the day?
Well I gave you my heart and you walked away, oh you
Speaking so soft when you're calling my name
What do you do at the end of the day?
