I've tried, I've tried (I've tried)

Oh, I've tried

I've been bought and sold (and sold)

One too many times

I ain't your puppet, no

And I ain't your steppin' stone

I should have looked before I jumped

I should have known

Out and down (and down)

Lost and never found

Deaf and blind (and blind)

Insane and out of mind

I ain't your puppet, no

And I ain't your steppin' stone

I should have looked before I jumped

I should have known

I ain't your puppet, no

And I ain't your steppin' stone

I should have looked before I jumped

I should have known

I ain't your puppet, no

And I ain't your steppin' stone

I should have looked before I jumped

I should have known

I ain't your puppet, no

And I ain't your steppin' stone

I should have looked before I jumped

I should have known
