Ringo Starr - Puppet Lyrics

We've been friends for such a long time
My head has a mind of its own
I don't wanna wait in no line
All I wanna do is go home
Something's goin' on inside me
I won't let it tear me apart

[Chorus:]
You got to breakdown to breakthrough
Growing up took someone like you
Forget about the things in your head
It's time you put the puppet to bed

Don't tell me Rome was built in a day
You've got to leave before you arrive
If you're willing to give it away
It's the only way to survive
Never up is never in
You got to lose before you can win

[Chorus]

Do yourself a favor
You've got to love your neighbor
Even when the chips are down
Cut the strings and let me go,
Now this is a one man show

[Chorus]
