All the strings attached girl
And all the strings attached girl, oh yeah

Met this girl when I was three or so
We were holding hands standing toe to toe
And it felt like an eternity
Said it felt like an eternity
'Cause I knew back then we were more than friends
Two sides of the story, it all depends
And I'll say it once and I'll say it again
It'll only end up hurting me
Years flew by, was less than twelve
Long division, I need your help
Can you come on over and work with me?
Any time you like and make it work with me
'Cause I knew back when if I get you close
When the times is right maybe I'll propose
Baby climb up
Show me the ropes
Sing it

Darling, I want all the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby, I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let the moment pass
And when I'm with you I feel better
I want all the strings, all the strings attached
All the strings attached girl
And all the strings attached girl, oh yeah

So come on girl let me hold your hand
Let's go get lost, leave without a plane
And I know you got the world to see
But you know you mean the world to me
And I know right now you got second thoughts
Do whatever it takes, babe, whatever the cost, yeah
You know me, not the type of guy 
To sneak around, to do the time
But you must have me hypnotized
I'm dead-dead-dead down to be by your side 
Every night 

Darling, I want all the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby, I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let the moment pass
And when I'm with you I feel better
I want all the strings

And baby when you fall down, I'll fall too
And if you get lost, then I'll get lost with you
And when the waves crash down
Then baby I won't move, 'cause I..

Need all the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby, I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let the moment pass
And when I'm with you I feel better
I want all the strings, all the strings attached
I want all the strings, all the strings attached
All the strings attached girl
And all the strings attached girl, oh yeah
