You Got Me Dangling On A String
You got me dangling on a string.
Please don't let me drop,
or my life would surely stop.
'Cause I'm wrapped in a
dream of needing you so,
my heart's in a noose
and I can't break loose.
I'm not half the man
that I used to be,
and I admit it.
Being in love with you
happened to me,
and I can't quit it.
Won't you take this half a man
and make this man whole again
You got me dangling on a string.
Please don't let me drop,
'cause my life would surely stop.
'Cause I'm wrapped in a dream
of needing you so,
feeling is strong
and I can't let go.
Every time I phone your number's
changed or disconnected.
You have made my life
a book of games,
I feel so rejected.
Girl, you got the best of me,
now come and put your trust in me.
You got me dangling on a string.
Please don't you ever let me drop,
cos my life would surely stop.
'Cause I'm wrapped in a dream
of needing you so,
my heart's in a noose
and I can't break loose.
Girl, my life is so lonely,
oh, I'm needing you only.
Don't want to live without you,
don't want to do without you, no, no.
You got me dangling on a string.
Please don't you ever let me drop
'cause my life would surely stop.
Can't you see, can't you see
When you've got me
dangling on a string
Please don’t you let me drop
