Lyrics
I was out there all alone
Now searching for a friend
You saw my need and you came along
With that charm you took me in
Then one night you captured my heart
Turned the smoke into a flame
No, I can't free my heart from you, baby
'Cause you keep it hanging on your string
No, I can't free my heart from you, baby
'Cause you keep it hanging on your string
That way of loving is my weakness
You made me yours, body and soul
My mind tells me I should leave you
But my heart can't let me go
So you tied me down to you and you went away
Turned all of my pleasure into pain
No, I can't free my heart from you, baby
'Cause you keep it hanging on your string
No, I can't free my heart from you, baby
'Cause you keep it hanging on your string
Every time I try to break loose
That's when you tie a knot on your string
I can't hold up to what I'm going through
My heart is weakening from the strain
I know, I know, if you untie me, baby
I'd be bound to you just the same
Girl, I can't free my heart from you, baby
If you keep it hanging on your string
No, I can't free my heart from you, baby
If you keep it hanging on your string
Oh, I can't free my heart from you, baby
You keep it hanging on your string
Oh, I can't free my heart from you, baby
'Cause you keep it hanging on your string, your string
