Manipulated

Show me how you want me to play-ay
Master of the ga-ame – what can I say-ay?
Yet I know that I can feel you pulling my stri-ings
It’s just what I ne-ed, I wanna belie-e-eve

So let’s all make this interesting, I’m ready to obli-i-ige
Blinded by the chemistry, there’s nothing to deny-ay-ay

I won’t take it or leave it
I know it’s dangerous but this is how it’s gonna stay(-ay)
I mean, everything you do; I don’t need a reason
‘Cause I’m the one controlling the way this is play-ay-ay-ayed

I know, you know, I know all along
That you can’t see what’s really going on
‘Cause the mind can’t tell that you’re famous
Things ain’t always as easy when I do things your way(-ay)

(You’re manipulated)
You’re manipulated-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
You’re manipulated-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
(You’re manipulated)

I’m not one for playing it sa-afe
Come lock me away-ay; I’ll do what you say-ay
‘Cause I know that you’ll like to be making the rules
So I’ll-I’ll play the fool, you’ll like when I do-o-o-o

Let’s reverse psychology, I’m ready to comply-ay-ay
You can have the best of me, I’m in the state of mi-i-ind

I won’t take it or leave it
I know it’s dangerous but this is how it’s gonna stay(-ay)
I mean, everything you do; I don’t need a reason
‘Cause I’m the one controlling the way this is play-ay-ay-ayed

I know, you know, I know all along
That you can’t see what’s really going on
‘Cause the mind can’t tell that you’re famous
Things ain’t always as easy when I do things your way(-ay)

You’re manipulated
(You’re manipulated)

You are… oh, oh
You are manipulated

‘Cause I know… (I know, you know, I know all along)
That you can’t see what’s really going on
‘Cause the mind can’t tell that you’re famous
Things ain’t always as easy when I do things your way(-ay)

(You’re manipulated)
You’re manipulated-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
You’re manipulated-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
(You’re manipulated)

You’re manipulated-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
