The Rope Song Lyrics by Devo

Hardcore Devo: Volume Two

1991

I found a girl with a pretty face
I tied a rope around her waist
I know when she's in and when she's out
Well there ain't nothing to guess about

She covers her ears when I play my guitar
She runs away but not very far
Push a button, retractable cord
I pull her back when I get bored

Woman, I am bound to you
Woman, I am bound to you
What do I want to do?

One word from her and she'd be free
But she's exactly where she wants to be
Magnetic madonna she glows in the night
Reciprocal pull, I flow to the light

Woman, I am bound to you
Woman, I am bound to you
What do I want to do?

Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?

I found a girl with a pretty face
I tied a rope around her waist
I know when she's in and when she's out
Well there ain't nothing to guess about

Woman, I am bound to you
Woman, I am bound to you
What do I want to do?

Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
