All the strings attached, girl

All the strings attached, girl, oh, yeah

Met this girl when I was three 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, we were more than friends

Two sides of the 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 twelve

Long division, I need your help

Can you come on over and work with me? Any time you like, I'll make it work for me

'Cause I knew back when if I get you 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

I 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, leave 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, oh-oh

You know me, not the type of guy

To sneak around, to do the time

But you must have me hypnotized, I'm d-d-d-down

To be by your side every night

Darling, I want all the strings attached

I 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'll 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
