Rev 20 Redlights

 written by John Patton and Eddie Snyder, original recording by the Shirelles
Mick has strayed from (and improved the flow of) the original lyrics in places, but nothing that changes the overall meaning
this is a key point: mick cheated and lied to maintain his sense of self. if he had been constant, he'd have been putty in her hands. Uh-huh.
(approx lyrics, as transcribed by frty licks/40 Licks, and edited by me) You say stop and I stop You say jump and I jump you say stay and I stay Anything you want, you get it right away I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh
With one wave of your hand, I'm your slave to command, but I know youre so cruel, everybody says, now dont you be no fool, I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh
You can build me until I'm ten feet tall Or bring me down like a rubber ball you can deflate me, inflame me, but dont you replay me, without your love, i'm nothing at all
You say stop and I stop you say pop and I pop You say jump and I jump Anything you want, you got it all wrong, I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh, uh-huh I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh,
You can build me and i'm 10 feet tall, knock me down with a 10 foot pole, you can use me, defuse me, but dont you refuse me, without your love, i'm nothing, nothing at all
They say that youre so cruel you treat me so cool, you made me so sad, anything you want, but dont you treat me bad, I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh Just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh
