Strings

Some as graceful as lace

Gently tie me in place

The lady has strings on me

Some are stronger than steel

Still, what pleasure to feel

The lady has strings on me

When I'm gone too far

They stretch across the miles to where I am

When I'm gone too long

She need not call or send a telegram

Just a tender touch

More like a kind of thought

She cares too much to take that chance

To pull those strings and make this puppet dance

Some as graceful as lace

Gently tie me in place

The lady has strings on me

Some are stronger than steel

But what a pleasure to feel

The lady has strings on me

Singing to myself

She hears the softest word I'll ever say

If she wants to stop the music

All she has to do is walk away

For as strong as our love

And as long as we love, we're both free

Though I have strings on the lady

The lady has strings on me

The lady has strings on me
