You say hop & I hop
You say stop & I stop
You say jump & I jump
Anything you say, I'm like a hunk of clay
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh
With one wave of your hand (putty putty putty putty)
I'm your slave to command (putty putty putty putty)
& I gladly obey (putty putty putty putty)
You say I'm like a hunk of clay
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh
You come straight a girl I've known before
You cut me down to the size of a rubber ball
You can use me, lose me, but never refuse me
Without your love I ain't nothin' at all, wo oh
They say I'm a fool (putty putty putty putty)
'Cause you treat me so cruel (putty putty putty putty)
But I'll go on this way (putty putty putty putty)
Without you, babe, I'm like a hunk of clay
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh
