Baby I'm Yours
Peter & Gordon 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'll be 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

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 an you hold my string, I'm your puppet
Yeah, I'm your puppet

Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string girl, I'll do anything now

I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet, and I love you





I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
Even make you happy when you're feeling blue

Overall Meaning

The song 'Baby I'm Yours' by Peter & Gordon is a soulful love song that uses a puppet as a metaphor for the singer's love for their significant other. The opening lines of the song, "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," sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer offering themselves completely to the other person in the relationship. The lyrics convey complete submission of the singer to their significant other, where the other person holds full control over the singer, much like a puppeteer controls a puppet.


The song further reinforces the imagery of the puppet and puppet master relationship, with lines such as "Your every wish is my command / All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand" and "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." The singer is willing to do anything to please their significant other and is completely dependent on them for their happiness, just like a puppet is dependent on its puppet master for movement and actions. The use of the metaphorical imagery adds depth and complexity to the lyrics, elevating the song's message.


Ultimately, the song is a declaration of love and devotion, with the singer proclaiming that they will do anything to make the other person happy. The song ends with the singer calling themselves a "walking, talking, living, loving puppet," reinforcing their willingness to submit and be devoted to their significant other.
