Got me hanging on a string, honey
Got me hanging for dear life
Mama told me not to be so bold
And I've been heavy crossed
I fell head first into the fire
What a foolish thing to do
Gambled every bit of sense I had
And I've lost it all to you
All to you
You take my breath
My last request
Is that you will
Always love me the best
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I guess
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
Still I'm hanging on a string
Oh oh
Oh la la la Oh la la la } (4x)
Out on the streets the bells are ringing
I said I'm sorry lonesome june
I watch the faces as they pass me by
And I'm hoping that I'll see you
I called your fone it's disconnected
It has somehow no longer stems
Guess the devil came and took you back
And my life is in his hands
All to you
You take my breath
My last request
Is that you will
Always love me the best
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I guess
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
Still I'm hanging on a string
