Epic Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Learn how to (walk) uhuh, (talk) oh yeah, (Eat), I'm hungry, (sleep), I'm sleepy, You really got me well trained, I'm like a (puppet on a string) You speak to me and then my poor heart a' flutters, (Gino) You call my name and then I melt like butter, You really got me well trained, I'm like a (puppet on a string) You walk my way and then my smile grows longer, You touch my hand and then my heart is beating stronger, You really got me well trained, I'm like a (puppet on a string) You turn me off and you turn me on, You make me weak and you make a' me strong, Without your power I couldn't exist, And I'd give my life by cutting my wrists. You speak to me and then I light up like a sign, (Gino) You call my name I'll come near you like a rock, You truly got me well trained, I'm like a (puppet on a string) (Walk) uhuh, (talk) oh yeah, (Eat), I'm hungry, (sleep), I'm sleepy, You really got me well trained, I'm like a (puppet on a string)
Robbk Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) The last line in the 4th stanza, should read: "And I'd "end my life by cut(tin') my wrist. The first 2 lines in the 5th stanza should read: "You speak to me and then I light up like a socket, "You call my name and I come to you like a rocket" Don't forget that there are two different versions: 1) the original Correc-Tone (1962), and SonBert (early1964)/Ric Tic (later1964).

norb Posted September 30, 2012 Author Posted September 30, 2012 Oh thanks a lot, you 2 !! I've been searching for those lyrics for one week, and you gave me an ultra fast response ! Great forum here ! @RobbK : I am part of an old fashionned R&B band, here in France, and was searching for those lyrics to make a cover of.... the Correc-Tone version, which sounds greater for me ! Thanks again, you made my week to come... 1
