On a String

You got my heart on a string

Yeah, you know you do

If I ever see you again

I'll be your toy on a string

Yeah, you know it's true

And I'll promise you everything (Oh, now)

I was goin' nowhere until you came along

And brightened up my day

But you were havin' a moment

Somebody had done you wrong

There were tears streamin' down your face

And I remember so clearly

Just a few months on

I still think about that day

How you did somethin' to me

How it felt so wrong to let you walk away

And I'm not one to regret

But I know I'm not ready yet

To stand aside, and watch you slowly

Slippin' through my fingers, baby

You got my heart on a string

Yeah, you know you do

If I ever see you again

I'll be your toy on a string

Yeah, you know it's true

And I'll promise you everything

One day, I thought I saw you

But it was just some girl

She had hair just like yours

I been goin' out my mind

Oh, following ghosts

Down empty stairways and covered doors

And you're there, behind my eyes

When I cant get to sleep at night

Girl, I've gotta get you

Girl, I've got to get you in my life

You've got my heart on a string (Ooh)

Yeah, you know you do (Know you do)

If I ever see you again (Ever see you again)

I'll be your toy on a string

Yeah, you know it's true (Know it's true, girl)

And I'll promise you everything (Oh)

You held my heart on a string (Hold the string baby)

When I noticed you

Like a flower abloom in the spring (Ooh, now)

Don't try to fight it

Oh, now

'Cause you can't deny it

When serendipity comes callin' for you

Oh, comes knockin' at your door

You got my heart on a string

Yeah, you know you do

If I ever see you again

I'll be your toy on a string

Yeah, you know it's true (You know it's true, girl)

And I'll promise you everything

You held my heart on a string (Oh, no, no)

When I noticed you

Like a flower abloom in the spring (Abloom in the spring)

I'll be your toy on a string (On a string, baby)

Yes, I promise you (I promise you)

If I ever see you again (If I ever see you again)

You've got my heart on a string (You've got my heart, got my heart)

Yeah, you know you do (Oh, you got my heart on a string, baby)

If I ever see you again (Yeah)

I'll be your toy on a string

Yeah, you know it's true

And I'll promise you everything
