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 lost 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

Ooh, ooh la la la...

Out on the streets the bells are ringing
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
It has somehow no longer stems
Guess the evil came and took you back
And my life is in his hands

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

Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
Still I'm hanging on a string
