Hello I'm searching for the lyrics of a song from Gino Washington, Puppet on a String. Could someone help me please ? I'm French and my English is not as good as you would wished... You can find the song here :

Thank you !

I already have this :

Well......... walk

talk

Eat, I'm hungry

Sleep

I'm sleepy

you really got me well.........

I'm like a Puppet on a string

You speak to me and then my poor « heart » (?)...............

Gino !

You call my name and then I ...............................

You really got me well ............

I'm like a Puppet on a string

You walk my way and then my smile goes longer

You touch my hands and then my heart a'beat stronger

you really got me well.........

I'm like a Puppet on a string

You turn me off and you turn me on

You make me weak and you make me strong

Without your « power » (???) I can't exist

And I.......................................

You speak to me and then I .....................

Gino !

You call my name I come to you like a............

you really got me well.........

I'm like your Puppet on a string

walk

talk

Eat, I'm hungry

Sleep

I'm sleeping

you really got me well.........

I'm like a Puppet on a string

Learn how to (walk) uhuh, (talk) oh yeah,

(Eat), I'm hungry, (sleep), I'm sleepy,

You really got me well trained,

I'm like a (puppet on a string)

You speak to me and then my poor heart a' flutters,

(Gino)

You call my name and then I melt like butter,

You really got me well trained,

I'm like a (puppet on a string)

You walk my way and then my smile grows longer,

You touch my hand and then my heart is beating stronger,

You really got me well trained,

I'm like a (puppet on a string)

You turn me off and you turn me on,

You make me weak and you make a' me strong,

Without your power I couldn't exist,

And I'd give my life by cutting my wrists.

You speak to me and then I light up like a sign,

(Gino)

You call my name I'll come near you like a rock,

You truly got me well trained,

I'm like a (puppet on a string)

(Walk) uhuh, (talk) oh yeah,

(Eat), I'm hungry, (sleep), I'm sleepy,

You really got me well trained,

I'm like a (puppet on a string)

The last line in the 4th stanza, should read: "And I'd "end my life by cut(tin') my wrist.

The first 2 lines in the 5th stanza should read: "You speak to me and then I light up like a socket,

"You call my name and I come to you like a rocket"

Don't forget that there are two different versions: 1) the original Correc-Tone (1962), and SonBert (early1964)/Ric Tic (later1964).

Oh thanks a lot, you 2 !!

I've been searching for those lyrics for one week, and you gave me an ultra fast response ! Great forum here !

@RobbK : I am part of an old fashionned R&B band, here in France, and was searching for those lyrics to make a cover of.... the Correc-Tone version, which sounds greater for me !

Thanks again, you made my week to come...
