Hanging on a String (Contemplating) [Re-Recorded] - Tone-Loc

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 can I be wrong for you

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

I’m not your plaything

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

Am 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’ve waited like a fool

Now who’s been changin' you

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

I’m not your plaything

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

I ain’t your plaything

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

I’m masquerading

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

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

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

I’m not your plaything, no, no, no

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

Hang on, hang on, yeah

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

I’m not your plaything

You, you’ve got me hangin' on a string now

You never told me

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 (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
