You’ve Got Me on a String

Lyrics

[Intro] You've got me on a string And I don't mean a thing to you I'm holding on to no one I'm a long time lover And my long time love is gone [Verse 1] If my man beats me, robs me blind Long as he don't leave me, I don't mind I would beg and I would crawl Though it does no good at all My man's been gone so long And I keep holding on [Verse 2] And if he needed me, I'd be there No matter how he mistreated me, I don't care I would get down on my knees Though it does no good to please My man's been gone for so long And I keep holding on [Outro] Broken windows, boarded doorways Choose your prison When I'm with him I'm a fool for loving you And well I know How the head says, "No" And the heart says, "Go Down on your knees, woman And keep on holding on"
