Karaoké String By Mack Geiger

Laying awake in your bed

Hiding myself from the things you did

These past months I've tried to bury my head in the sand

Last night I told you I'm out though part of me wants you still around

But I'm not a toy on a string just to drag around

'Cos when you call me up at two a.m. crying that you need me again

Fluttering your eyes and pulling me in

You sure know how to make me sin

No

I won't go

And I won't fall for it this time

So you're best to go

Find someone else to string by

Each night I wait for the ring of my telephone laying next to me

You lie and say you've changed but your voice still comforts me

Lord, send me away from this woman or planet

I'd gladly aboard the next rocket if I'm honest

'Cos I can't escape the devil that's whispering to me and won't let me leave

'Cos when you call me up at two a.m. crying that you need me again

Fluttering your eyes and pulling me in

You sure know how to make me sin

No

I won't go

And I won't fall for it this time

So you're best to go

Find someone else to string by

So you're best to go

Find someone else to string by
