Strings

All the strings attached, girl

All the strings attached, girl

Oh yeah

Met this girl when I was 3 years old

We were holding hands tight so I'm told

And it felt like an eternity

Said it felt like an eternity

'Cause I knew back then that we were more than friends

Two-sided story, it all depends

And I'll say it once and I'll say it again

It'll only end up hurting me

Years flew by, I was less than 12

Long division, I need your help

Can you come on over and work with me?

Anytime you like, I'll make it work for me

'Cause I knew back when if we get too close

When the time is right maybe I'll propose

Baby climb on up, show me the ropes

Darling, I want all the strings attached

Love it when you look at me like that

And you're the only girl that brings me back

'Cause baby I want all the strings attached

It's like always and forever

I won't let a moment pass

And when I'm with you I feel better

I want all the strings, all the strings attached

All the strings attached, girl

All the strings attached, girl

Mmm yeah

So come on girl, let me hold your hand

Let's go get lost, live without a plan

And I know you got the world to see

But you know you mean the world to me

And I know right now you got second thoughts

Do whatever it takes, pay whatever the cost

Yeah

You know me, not the type of guy

To sneak around, to do the time

But you must have me hypnotized

I'm dead, dead, dead, down to be by your side

Every night

Darling, I want all the strings attached

Love it when you look at me like that

And you're the only girl that brings me back

'Cause baby I want all the strings attached

It's like always and forever

I won't let a moment pass

And when I'm with you I feel better

I want all the strings

And baby when you fall down

I fall too

And if you get lost

Then I'll get lost with you

And when the waves crash down

Then baby I won't move

'Cause I need all the strings attached

Love it when you look at me like that

And you're the only girl that brings me back

'Cause baby I want all the strings attached

It's like always and forever

I won't let a moment pass

And when I'm with you I feel better

I want all the strings

All the strings attached

I want all the strings, all the strings attached

All the strings attached, girl

All the strings attached, girl

Oh yeah
