I couldn't believe it

when you said you didn't care

if people used you

or people stole from you

you said - nothing lasts forever

nothing to do with you

then you say



come to me if you can be quiet

come little one

if you can be still

you say - there's so much more to do

than get caught up on every issue

it's puppet city out there truly



I couldn't believe it

when you said you had no feelings

of love or hate or anything dramatic

not jealousy or pride

you said you'd set these things aside

then you say



come to me...



I couldn't believe it

when you said I had been programmed

to miss you when you go away

to be indignant when you stay away

to worry about things the proper length of time

well-taught emotionally



girl does this - tell her it's wrong

that's the thing to do

girl does that - tell her it's wrong

that's the thing to do

if you love them you need them

so stop trying to free them

that's the thing to do

that's not the thing to do



I couldn't believe it

when you said you needed no one

you're a stubborn man

I think you're antisocial

whatever that is

you're supposed to care about your brother

it's not right to be so cold



come to me if you can be quiet

come little one

if you can be still

you say - there's so much more to do

than get caught up on every issue

it's puppet city out there truly
