"Heart on a String"

I was out there, all alone
Now searching for a friend
You saw my need and you came along
With that … you took me in

You want nothing, you capture my heart
Turn the smoke into a flame
Whoa, I can't free my heart from you baby
Cause you keep it playing on your string
No I can't free my heart from you baby
Cause you keep it hanging on your string

That way old lover was my weakness
It made me yours body and suffer
My mind tells me I should leave this
But my heart can't let me go
… down the youth in the river …
Turn over my pleasure into pain

No I can't free my heart from you baby
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
No I can't free my heart from you baby
If you keep it hangingt hanging on your string

Every time I try to break loose
That's when you … up on your string
I can't hold up to what I'm going through
My heart is weakened …

No I know a few more time …
Might be bound on you just the same
No I can't free my heart from you baby
If you keep it hanging on your string
No I can't free my heart from you baby
Cause you keep it hanging on your string, your string.
