You like to keep me dangling on a string
'Cause you know without you my life don't mean a thingSo 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 endYes, I'm your puppet, my heart is in your hand
One twist of the wrist and I jump to your commandSo 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 endI feel inside me, as sure as anything
One day I'll mean more to you than a puppet on a stringSo 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
