Strung Out

Lyrics

[Intro: William Bell & Mavis Staples] Every guy is guilty of thinking sometimes That the grass is greener on the other side of the fence Every girl is guilty of waiting so long, sometimes 'Till it seems like it doesn't make sense [Chorus: Mavis Staples] Strung out Over you I'm strung out over you [Verse 1: Mavis Staples] Though I know That you're no good And loving you Is oh so senseless But I can't help myself 'Cause darling, for you I'm so weak and defenseless [Chorus: William Bell] I'm strung out Over you Ooh, I'm strung out over you [Verse 2: William Bell] I've got myself to blame For not being strong enough Oh, I just wasn't strong enough To keep from being untrue I won't blame you If you cut me loose You did all you could do [Bridge: William Bell & Mavis Staples, William Bell & Mavis Staples] Ooh, baby (It's your love, our love, ooh, yeah) I'm gonna stop right now From misusing your affection And leading you In the wrong direction And I won't stop loving you No, I can't stop loving you Oh darlin' Hmm, I just can't stop [Chorus: William Bell, Mavis Staples, & Both] 'Cause I'm strung out over you Ooh, and I'm strung out over you, too I'm strung out, strung out Ooh, hoo, hoo, I'm strung out, strung out Ooh, I'm strung out, strung out I'm strung out over you Hmm, I'm strung out, strung out And I'm strung out over you Oh, baby Strung out, strung out And I just can't help myself, tellin' you Strung out, strung out And I'm strung out over you (Hey, hey, hey!)
