Strings

Verse

She says that she loves you

But she wants a ring.

That’s right I told you so.

Even love has strings.

Chorus

Conditions, stipulations

Strings on everything.

Everything, everything

Everything has strings.

Verse

You pay for her new car

She makes love to you.

Feels an obligation

One you’ll hold her to.

Chorus

Conditions, stipulations

Strings on everything.

Everything, everything

Everything has strings.

Verse

If is such a big word.

Always has a string.

But is an exception.

Has a friend to bring.

Chorus

Conditions, stipulations

Strings on everything.

Everything, everything

Everything has strings.

Verse

Roll them up in a ball.

Use them when you need.

You can get by giving

Watch and you will see.

Bridge

Entanglements, attachments

Oh what a web we weave.

Ties and obligations

We’re tangled up in strings.

Verse

She says that she loves you

But she wants a ring.

That’s right I told you so.

Even love has strings.

Chorus

Conditions, stipulations

Strings on everything.

Everything, everything

Everything has strings.
