Hanging’ on a String (Contemplating) Songtext
von Loose Ends

I′ve waited, oh, so long
For you to come to me
What did I do wrong?
It's all a mystery to me

Baby, I feel it too
What am I supposed to do?
Maybe I′ve just changed
Or could I be wrong for you?

You, you've got me hangin' on a string now (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I′m not a plaything
You, you′ve got me hangin' on a string now (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I′m I your plaything?

You never told me you were waiting, contemplating
With my heart, my love
You never told me you were waiting, contemplating
With my heart, my love


Do you mean to say?
That after all this time
I waited like a fool
Now who's been changin′ you

You, you've got me hangin′ on a string now (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I'm not your plaything
You, you've got me hangin′ on a string now (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I ain′t your plaything

You, you've got me hangin′ on a string now (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I'm masquerading
You, you′ve got me hangin' on a string now (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I ain′t your plaything, whoa

You never told me you were waiting, contemplating
You never told me you were waiting, contemplating
Come on, child, take me by the hand, now-now

You-you, you've got, you-you, you've got, you-you, you′ve got
You-you, you′ve got, you-you, you've got, you-you, you′ve got
I'm not your plaything, no, no, no (you′ve got me hangin' on a string now)
You, you′ve got me hangin' on a string now
Hang on, hang on, yeah


You (every time I was lonely) you've got me hangin′ on a string now (string it on)
I′m not your plaything
You, you've got me hangin′ on a string now (you never told me you were waiting, contemplating)
You never told me

You, you've got me hangin′ on a string now
You never told me you were waiting, contemplating (I didn't know)
You, you′ve got me hangin' on a string now (come on child)
You never told me you were waiting, contemplating (I'm not your plaything)

You, you′ve got me hangin′ on a string now
You never told me you were waiting, contemplating
You, you've got me hangin′ on a string now
You never told me you were waiting, contemplating
