Lyrics

He'd been like putty in her hands
From the moment they first met
She'd gripped and grabbed him, pressed and squeezed
And hadn't let go yet
But putty wasn't what he'd been
Before these last hard years
He recognised there's something wrong
And came to me in tears

I feel like putty in her hands
He cried
I've done my best to break out
Really tried
She's gripped and grabbed me
Pressed and squeezed
Bent me begging
On my knees
Yep I feel like putty in her hands
Like putty

I said like putty isn't you
From the little that I know
You're doing things that most can't do
Got so much to show
Like putty's far from what you've been
Before these past hard years
I can see there's something deep gone wrong
Let's wipe away those tears

I feel like putty in her hands
He cried
I've done my best to break out
Really tried
She's gripped and grabbed me
Pressed and squeezed
Sent me begging
On my knees
Yep I feel like putty in her hands
Yeah, yeah like putty
Yeah, yeah

Bridge:

Forget like putty, be yourself the man you were before
Now go back home and pack your things then walk right out her door
Forget like putty, think of here, my house one place you're free
And welcome to just be yourself, the man you used to be
Forget like putty
You're not like putty
Definitely NOT like putty
Be the man you used to be
And if it all works out okay
You can spend your life with me

No more like putty in her hands
From the moment WE first met
No gripping, grabbing, pressing squeezing
All THAT he can forget
Like putty's far from what he'd been
And-that's why he came to me
I love the man for what he is
And proud I've set him free

I felt like putty in her hands
He sighed
Yeah, sought the strength to break out
Really tried
She'd gripped and grabbed me
Pressed and squeezed
Sent me begging
On my knees
Yep I felt like putty in her hands
Like putty yeah, yeah
Just like putty yeah, yeah, yeah
Like putty
