Otis Blackwell - Please Don't Drag That String Around lyrics

You like to keep me dangling on a string 'Cause you know without you my life don't mean a thing [Chorus] So I beg you Please don't drag that string around, oh no Well, what if it should break Oh, tell me, what would I do then Keep that string up off the ground Oh, yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end Yes, I'm your puppet, my heart is in your hand One twist of the wrist and I jump to your command [Chorus] So I beg you Please don't drag that string around, oh no Well, what if it should break What would I do then Baby, keep that string up off the ground Oh, yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end I feel inside me, as sure as anything One day I'll mean more to you than a puppet on a string [Chorus] So I beg you Please don't drag that string around, oh no Well, what if it should break Oh, tell me, what would I do then Keep that string up off the ground Oh, yeah, remember my heart is tied to the other end
