PUPPET SHOW (City Pop Ver.) Lyrics
[Intro: Maya, Hinata]
It’s time I get what I deserve
Act like he don’t know what I’m worth
We spend a lot of time talking
But it feels like I’m never heard
[Verse 1: Harvey, Jurin]
Listen to what comes out my mouth (Ah)
Before you try to take me out (Ah)
You oughta know what I’m about
Treat me like a lady, this ain’t up for debating
Boy, stop playing ‘fore it goes a different route (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus: Juria, Hinata]
Imagine a world where we could play different roles
Where girls be taking control, oh, oh
Wrapped ’round our fingers, they couldn’t tell us no, no, no
[Chorus: Chisa, Maya]
Welcome to the puppet show
Where we play ’em like they’re plastic dolls
They’ll do anything, anything, anything
When you got ’em hanging by a string, by a string
Gonna play ’em like they’re toys
We’ll make ’em do what we enjoy
They’ll do anything
When you got ’em by a string
[Verse 2: Cocona, Harvey, Maya, Hinata]
Puppet-pet, puppet, puppet
Don’t like the look of this picture
Boy, you think that I’m in love with you?
Ha-ha, cry me a river
Thought you were slick to lead, but you an extra
I’ma do it my way, ain’t apologetic
I might cut you off like “Bye, Felicia” with it
I’m a controller, play ’em like Atari
It ain’t game over ’til I say so, got it?
Automatic when I want for it to please me
Might just make you do the things I want you to (I want you to)
Playing puppet master, everything’s so easy
I’ll make all of my own dreams come true, ooh
[Pre-Chorus: Chisa, Hinata]
Imagine a world where we could play different roles
Where we be taking control, oh, oh
Wrapped ’round our fingers, they couldn’t tell us no, no, no
[Chorus: Jurin, Harvey, Juria, Maya]
Welcome to the puppet show (To the puppet show)
Where we play ’em like they’re plastic dolls (Like they’re plastic dolls)
They’ll do anything, anything, anything (Oh)
When you got ’em hanging by a string, by a string (Yeah, yeah)
Gonna play ’em like they’re toys (Like they’re toys)
We’ll make ’em do what we enjoy (Ah)
They’ll do anything (Anything, yeah)
When you got ’em by a string (By a string, yeah)
[Bridge: Chisa, Juria]
Follow my lead
Just leave the whole thing up to me
My expertise, yeah, yeah
Welcome to the puppet show
Where we play ’em like they’re plastic dolls
They’ll do anything, anything
When you got ’em hanging by a string, by a string, yeah
[Chorus: Maya, Chisa, Jurin & Juria]
Welcome to the puppet show (Welcome to the show, oh)
Where we play ’em like they’re plastic dolls (Like they’re plastic dolls)
They’ll do anything, anything, anything (They’ll do anything, yeah)
When you got ’em hanging by a string, by a string (By a string)
Gonna play ’em like they’re toys (Play ’em like they’re toys)
We’ll make ’em do what we enjoy (Make ’em do what we enjoy)
They’ll do anything (Anything)
When you got ’em by a string (String)

PUPPET SHOW (City Pop Ver.) Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Maya, Hinata]
This part shows a girl feeling fed up with being overlooked and underappreciated. She’s been giving her time and talking things out, but the other person just doesn’t seem to listen or understand her worth. Now, she’s done waiting around and wants to be treated the way she deserves.
[Verse 1: Harvey, Jurin]
Here, she’s saying that before someone tries to approach her or impress her, they should actually take the time to understand who she is. She’s not interested in being messed with or disrespected. She expects to be treated with real respect and knows exactly what she deserves. If the other person keeps playing games, things could take a serious turn—and not in their favor.
[Pre-Chorus: Juria, Hinata]
This part imagines a world where girls aren’t the ones being controlled but are the ones running things. It’s a shift in power where they’re the ones in charge, confidently calling the shots, and no one can say no to them. It’s about flipping the roles.
[Chorus: Chisa, Maya]
The chorus brings in the “puppet show” idea. It’s like the girls are in control now, and the guys are like dolls they can move around however they want. When you’ve got that kind of control, people will do anything to please you. It’s playful, but it also shows a shift in power—now it’s the girls having fun and taking the lead.
[Verse 2: Cocona, Harvey, Maya, Hinata]
This part is full of sass and confidence. The girl is saying she’s not falling for any fake charm or smooth talk. She’s not in love, she’s not fooled, and she’s definitely not sorry about doing things her way. She calls out the guy for thinking he’s the main player when really, he’s just a background character. She’s in control now, like someone playing a video game where she’s the one with all the power. She can cut people off without a second thought, get what she wants, and make things happen for herself. It’s all about self-power, independence, and not needing anyone’s approval to live her life.
[Pre-Chorus: Chisa, Hinata]
Again, this part builds on the idea of switching up the usual roles. It’s about girls leading the way, having control, and being unstoppable. The message is clear: when women take the lead, they can’t be told what to do.
[Chorus: Jurin, Harvey, Juria, Maya]
The “puppet show” theme continues here, showing how the girls are in full control of the situation. The guys are being treated like dolls—easy to handle and willing to do whatever the girls want. The power is totally in the girls’ hands, and they’re enjoying it. It’s playful, cheeky, and shows that being in charge can be fun too.
[Bridge: Chisa, Juria]
This section is like a confident invitation to follow her lead because she knows exactly what she’s doing. She’s got the skills, the control, and the plan. Once you’re in her world—the puppet show—she’s the one calling all the shots, and you’ll follow without even realizing it.
[Chorus: Maya, Chisa, Jurin & Juria]
The final chorus wraps it all up with even more confidence and flair. The girls are fully in control, having fun while making others dance to their rhythm. The whole puppet metaphor shows how easily they can get others to do what they want. It’s not just about control—it’s about enjoying the freedom to lead and express themselves without limits.
[Spoken: All]
