Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've waited oh so long for you to come to me

What did I do wrong? It's all a mystery to me

Baby, I feel it too, what am I supposed to do?

Maybe I've just changed or could I be wrong for you?

[Verse 2]

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now

I'm not a plaything

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now

Am I your plaything?

[Verse 3]

You never told me you were waitin', contemplatin'

With my heart, my love

You never told me you were waitin', contemplatin'

With my heart

[Verse 4]

Do you mean to say that after all this time

I've waited like a fool? Now who's been changin' you?

[Verse 5]

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now

I'm not your plaything

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now

I ain't no plaything

[Verse 6]

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now

Stop masquerading

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now

I ain't your plaything, whoa

[Verse 7]

You never told me you were waitin', contemplatin'

You never told me you were waitin', contemplatin'

Come on, child

And take me by the hand now

[Verse 8]

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (I'm not your plaything)

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (I'm waitin' on you)

Hang on, hang on, yeah

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (String it on) (Just a plaything)

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (You never told me you were waitin', comtemplatin')

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (You never told me you were waitin', comtemplatin')

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (Come on, child) (I'm not your plaything)

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (You never told me you were waitin', comtemplatin')

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (You never told me you were waitin')
