Candi Staton - Heart On A String lyrics

When I was out there, and all alone I was searching for a friend You saw my need and you came along With your charm you took me in Overnight, you capture my heart Turn the smoke into a flame I can't free my heart from you baby 'Cause you keep it hanging on your string No I can't free my heart from you baby 'Cause you keep it hanging on your string Your way old loving is my weakness You made me yours body and soul My mind tells me I to leave you But my heart won't let me go 'Cause you tie me down to you in every way Turn my pleasure into pain No I can't free my heart from you baby Cause you keep it hanging on your string No I can't free my heart from you baby 'Cause you keep it hanging on your string Every time I try to break loose That's when you tighten up on your string I can't hold up to what I'm going through My heart is weakening from the strain No I know if you untied me I'd be bound to you just the same I can't free my heart from you baby Cause you keep it hanging on your string I can't free my heart from you baby 'Cause you keep it hanging on your string I can't free my heart from you baby 'Cause you keep it hanging on your string
