Hangin’ Lyrics by Stylus

The Best Kept Secret

1978

Why do you keep me hangin' on a string?
Baby, for you, I'll do anything
So make up your mind and decide
Is this real what you feel?

Tossin' and turnin'
There's no way I can speak
My body's yearnin'
For your soul to keep

I just can't understand
Why you'd leave this man way up in the air
If you'd just bring me down
I'll always be around to care

Why do you keep me hangin' on a string?
Baby, for you, I'll do anything
So open your eyes and you'll see
Love is our destiny

You said that you're leaving
(Why must you leave?)
That it's time for a change
(Okay)
But you're only teasin' me
With these games you play

Why can't we work it out
Talk it out?
Please help me to understand
It really brings me down when I
Don't know where I stand

Why do you keep me hangin' on a string?
Baby, for you, I'll do anything
So make up your mind and decide
Is this real what you feel?

Why do you keep me hangin' on a string?
(Why, baby?)
Baby, for you, I'll do anything
(I'll do any little thing)
So open your eyes and you'll see
Love is our destiny

Why do you keep me hangin' on a string?
(Keep me hangin' on a string)
Baby, for you, I'll do anything
(Baby, for you, for you)
So make up your mind and decide
Is this real what you feel?
Is it real?
