Don't keep me hangin', baby
Like a puppet, baby
Hangin' on a string
I said please, baby make your mind up
I don't want to wind up
Hangin' on a string

You treat me like a toy
But I'm a girl, not a boy
I don't want to be strong
But I can't keep this love for long
Mine's aching, mine's breaking
'Cause I'm givin', and you're just takin'

Stop runnin' cold 'n' hot babe
Tied me in a knot babe
'Cause we got a lot babe
Hangin' on a string

Mine's achin', mine's breakin'
'Cause I'm givin', and you're just takin'

Stop runnin' cold 'n' hot babe
Tied me in a knot babe
'Cause we got a lot babe
Hangin' on a string

Hangin' on a string, hangin' on a string
Hangin' on a string, hangin' on a string
