Lyrics

(you keep me) hanging on

It's true you got me wrapped around you finger

Seems to me like that's where I belong

You know you know how to hold me

You know how to thrill me

And you know how to control me, makin' me like it

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

My heart is like a yo-yo string

I'm tied to you, tied to you, right or wrong

My love keeps right on growing

And your love just keeps right on showing

Making me like it

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

A heart as true as mine

Can make you do most anything

Like hiding tears and heartaches

And dreaming those old silly dreams

Oh sweetheart, you got me

Got me where you want me

You just keep stringing me along

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on
