you've got me on a string

Lyrics

you've got me on a string, 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, 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, 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, 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
