Text:
You like to keep me
Dangling on a string
’Cause you know without you
My life don’t mean a thing
So I beg you
Please don’t drag that string around, oh no
Well, what if it should break
Oh, tell me, what would I do then
Keep that string up off the ground
Oh yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end
Yes, I’m your puppet, my heart is in your hand
One twist of the wrist and I jump to your command
So I beg you
Please don’t drag that string around, oh no
Well, what if it should break
What would I do then
Baby, keep that string up off the ground
Oh yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end
I feel inside me, as sure as anything
One day I’ll mean more to you than a puppet on a string
So I beg you
Please don’t drag that string around, oh no
Well, what if it should break
Oh, tell me, what would I do then
Baby, keep that string up off the ground
Oh yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end
