When was
out there and all alone,
I was searching for a friend.
You saw my need when you came along,
with your charms you took me in.
Overnight you captured my heart,
turned a spark into a flame.
Please, I can't keep my
heart from you, baby.
But you keep it hanging on your string.
I can't free my heart from you, baby.
But you keep it hanging
on your string.
The way of loving is my weakness.
You made me yours, body and soul.
My mind tells me to leave you.
But my heart won't let me go.
Cause you tied me down
to you in every way.
Turned my pleasure into pain.
I can't free my heart from you, baby,
cause you keep it hangin'
on your string.
No, no, no.
I can't free my heart from you,
baby,
cause you keep it hangin'
on your string.
Every time I try to break or lose,
That's when you tighten up
on your string.
I can't hold up to what
I'm going through.
My heart is weakening from the strain.
Oh, I know if you un tied me,
I'd rebound to you just the same.
I can't breathe my heart from you,
baby
Because you keep it hanging
on your string
No, no, I can't breathe my
heart from you, baby
Because you keep it hanging
on your string
I can't breathe my heart
from you, baby
How'd you keep it hanging
on the string?
