You come to me when everything is fine
Invade my privacy, get over the line
But I don´t need anyone to watch my back.
You come to me, and you drive me mad.
When I tell you, then you take it bad.

Don´t get me wrong, but won´t you cut me some slack?
I can smell the trouble on the way.
It´s getting hard to breathe, I´d better run away.
I do as I please
And I do what I want to do
And I say what I say
And that´s the way it goes
(As I like) As I like
(As I please) As I please
(As I feel) As I feel
I´m not a puppet on a string.
You are suspicious because I act strange.
You try to label me and to make me change.
But I don´t need anyone to tell me, “Walk this way”
You got your eyes on me all the time.

Feels like if I was up to commit a crime.
But when you sell your soul
There´s a price to pay.
I can smell the trouble on the way.
It´s getting hard to breathe, I´d better run away.
I do as I please
And I do what I want to do
And I say what I say
And that´s the way it goes
(As I like) As I like
(As I please) As I please
(As I feel) As I feel
I´m not a puppet on a string.
I do as I please
And I do what I want to do
And I say what I say
And that´s the way it goes

(As I like) As I like
(As I please) As I please
(As I feel) As I feel
I´m not a puppet on a string.
(Solo)
I can smell the trouble on the way
It´s getting hard to breathe, I´d better run away.
I do as I please
And I do what I want to do
And I say what I say
And that´s the way it goes
(As I like) As I like
(As I please) As I please
(As I feel) As I feel
I´m not a puppet on a string.
I do as I please
And I do what I want to do

And I say what I say
And that´s the way it goes
(As I like) As I like
(As I please) As I please
(As I feel) As I feel
I´m not a puppet on a string.
