Everytime I try to talk to you
You turn and walk away
Well here's something you can relate to
Let's kick it the right way

When we met I thought that you'd be true
Over and over you said I love you
Though I wish our romance could last
The love we shared is in the past

Now I'm tired of lying to myself
Thinking I'm over you
No, you won't catch me crying
'Cause I'll find someone new

Chorus
Cause baby you've got me hanging on a love string
Don't wanna be just another plaything
You've got me lost in your love so I want you
But I'm hanging on a love string

You can try but when that is through
No other girl loves like I do
Even though I want you to stay
I know I'm wrong to feel this way

No, I won't be a puppet
Like a toy you play around with my heart
No, don't try to deny it
It's better if we stay apart

Chorus (2 times)
Cause baby you've got me hanging on a love string
Don't wanna be just another plaything
You've got me lost in your love so I want you
But I'm hanging on a love string

No, I won't be a puppet
Like a toy you play around with my heart
No, don't try to deny it
It's better if we stay apart

Chorus
Cause baby you've got me hanging on a love string
Don't wanna be just another plaything
You've got me lost in your love so I want you
But I'm hanging on a love string
-Repeats

I'm hanging on a love string
I'm hanging on your love string
Oh baby you got me
