Got me hanging on a string, honey*
Got me hanging for dear life
Mama told me not to be so bold
And I've been heavy crossed

I fell head first into the fire
What a foolish thing to do
Gambled every bit of sense I had
And I losed it all to you

All to you
You take my breath
My last request
Is that you will always love me the best
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I get
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
Still I'm hanging on a string

Oohh
Ooh la la la
Ooh
Ooh la la la

I said I'm sorry, lonesome June
I watched the faces as they pass me by
I'm hoping that I see you

I called your phone it's disconnected
Your house somehow no longer stands
I guess the devil came and took you back
And my life is in his hands

I called your phone it's disconnected
Your house somehow no longer stands
I guess the devil came and took you back

All to you
You take my breath
My last request
Is that you will always love me the best
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I get
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
Still I'm hanging on a string

Got me hanging on a string, honey*
Got me hanging for dear life
Mama told me not to be so bold
