I'm Yours
Holiday Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet

I'm yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet

Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet

Listen, your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

Pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song, I'm your puppet
Make me do right or make me do wrong, I'm your puppet

Treat me good and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet and you hold my string, I'm your puppet

Darling, darling, pull the strings, let me sing you a song any day
I'm your puppet baby, you can sing for me all night long





Honey, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the Holiday Band's song, "I'm Yours," depict the power dynamic in a relationship where one person has control over the other, like a puppet master. The song's narrator personifies himself as a puppet who will do anything for their lover. He is willing to be manipulated and act in any way they want to please them. The line "I'm just a toy, just a funny boy, that makes you laugh when you're blue" illustrates his submissive role and portrays the puppet as a comedic relief to his lover's worries.


The song highlights the idea of losing oneself in a relationship and becoming wholly devoted to the other person. The puppet imagery gives a sense of not having control over one's self and becoming a slave to their partner. It is a metaphor for the power dynamics at play in any relationship. The song makes it clear that the puppet has no will of his own, and everything he does is at the mercy of his lover's wishes.


In conclusion, the lyrics to "I'm Yours" are a cautionary tale about the dangers of losing oneself in love and the importance of maintaining one's identity and autonomy.
