I've Got No Strings Lyrics
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
I've got no strings so I have fun
I'm not tied to anyone
How I love my liberty, there are no strings on me!
Hi-ho the me-ri-o, I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
Why does the gay little dicky bird sing?
What put the "zing" in a butterfly's wing?
What's the reason for the smile of a troubadour?
Why does the breeze have a barrel of fun?
Even the bee who's a son of a gun
It's all because they're free
And stringless the same as me
I've got no strings and I'm so glad
No strings at all to make me sad
I had strings but now I'm free,
There are no strings on me
Oh, hi-ho, the way we go
I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know nothing ever worries me!
I've got no strings so I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
How I love my liberty, there are no strings on me!
No ties to bind me, it's not easy to find me,
'Cause I've got no strings on me!
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
I've got no strings so I have fun
I'm not tied to anyone
How I love my liberty, there are no strings on me!
Hi-ho the me-ri-o, I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
Why does the gay little dicky bird sing?
What put the "zing" in a butterfly's wing?
What's the reason for the smile of a troubadour?
Why does the breeze have a barrel of fun?
Even the bee who's a son of a gun
It's all because they're free
And stringless the same as me
I've got no strings and I'm so glad
No strings at all to make me sad
I had strings but now I'm free,
There are no strings on me
Oh, hi-ho, the way we go
I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know nothing ever worries me!
I've got no strings so I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
How I love my liberty, there are no strings on me!
No ties to bind me, it's not easy to find me,
'Cause I've got no strings on me!

I don’t think about puppets when I hear this song. Altho it being an upbeat song it’s very sad. This will be a common song choice for your ex if they have an avoidant attachment style. They will use this song to try to convince themselves they did the right thing by running away and that it is making them happier.
Avoidants feel very triggered about loosing their independence whey they feel either obligated to someone else and feel burdened when the see that their actions have hurt someone they care about.
Being alone, away from a partner who triggers your insecurities is the easy more selfish option rather than being emotional mature and working through your issues by communicating your feelings and looking at yourself to improve. Having no strings doesn’t mean your better off, it just means you have nobody to help you face your trauma. They will do anything they can think of to avoid it.
People ultimately all want to be connected to someone especially fearful avoidants who have a very deep longing for intimacy yet have a visceral reaction to the fear of being loosing their independence and being vulnerable.
