Heart On A String (Single # 1460 B-Side) - Candi Staton

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
