Man on a String - Howe Gelb

And outside the wind blows blustery

Nothing but a ghost knocking on my door

All because you can t send me love no more

Send me no more love

It would only stand to make me sick

Send me love no more

I would only get back in what I got out

Real quick

I knew a man that would talk a good game

Words sweet as syrup pouring down like rain

One fateless night fooling around down town

When that girl came in you could hear the sap

Hit the ground

Now I know a girl

With a man on a string

She likes to see how much he could take

With a come on

And little heart break

She swore she didn t need anymore

Then all she could take

Nothing but a cold floor under my feat

And outside the wind blows bitterly

Nothing but a ghost knocking on my door

All because you can t send me love no more
