On a String Lyrics by Mamas Gun

The Life & Soul

0

You got my heart on a string
Yeah you know ya do If I ever see you again
I'm just your toy on a string
Yeah you know it's true
And I'll promise you everything

I was going nowhere until you came along
And brightened up my day
But you were having a moment
Somebody had done you wrong
There were tears streaming down your face
And I remember so clearly just a few
Months on, I still think about that day
How you did something to me
How it felt so wrong to let you walk away

And I'm not one to regret
But I know I'm not ready yet
To stand aside and watch you slowly
Slipping through my fingers baby

You got my heart on a string
Yeah you know ya do If I ever see you again
I'm just your toy on a string
Yeah you know it's true
And I'll promise you everything

One day I thought I saw you, but it was just
Some girl, she had hair just like yours
Going out of my mind, following ghosts
Down empty stairways and corridors

But you're there behind my eyes
When I can't get to sleep at night
Girl I've got to get you, girl I've got to get
You in my life

You got my heart on a string
Yeah you know ya do
If I ever see you again
I'm just your toy on a string
Yeah you know it's true
And I'll promise you everything
You held my heart on a string
When I noticed you
Like a flower abloom in the spring

You can't deny it
Don't try to fight it
When Serendipity comes calling for you
When it comes knocking on your door

You got my heart on a string
Yeah you know ya do
If I ever see you again
I'm just your toy on a string
Yeah you know it's true
And I'll promise you everything
You held my heart on a string
When I noticed you
Like a flower abloom in the spring
I'll be your toy on a string
Yes I promise you
If I ever see you again
