Pretty Babies Songtext
von Karen Elson

Got me hanging on a string, honey
Got me hanging for dear life
Mama told me not to be so bold
And now I′m paying a heavy price

I fell head first into the fire
What a foolish thing to do
Gambled every bit of sense I had
And now I've lost it all to you

All to you
You take my breath
My last request
Is that you will always love me the best
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I get
Still I′m hanging on a string, honey
Still I'm hanging on a string


Oohh
Ooh la la la
Oooh
Ooh la la la

Out on the streets the bells are ringing
I said I'm sorry, lonesome June
I watched the faces as they passed me by
I′m hoping that I′ll see you

I called your phone, it's disconnected
Yeah it has somehow no longer stand
Guess the devil came and took you back
And my life is in his hands

All to you
You take my breath
My last request
Is that you will always love me the best
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I get
Still I′m hanging on a string, honey
Still I'm hanging on a string
Still I′m hanging on a string
