Karen Elson - Pretty Babies

Got me hanging on a string, honey Got me hanging for dear life Mama told me not to be so bold And i've been heavy crossed I fell head first into the fire What a foolish thing to do Gambled every bit of sense i had And i've lost it all to you All to you You take my breath My last request Is that you will always love me the best So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh i get Still i'm hanging on a string, honey Still i'm hanging on a string Oohh Ooh la la la Oooh Ooh la la la Out on the streets the bells are ringing I said i'm sorry, lonesome june I watched the faces as they pass me by I'm hoping that i see you I called your phone, it's disconnected It has somehow no longer stems Guess the evil came and took you back And my life is in his hands All to you You take my breath My last request Is that you will always love me the best So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh i get Still i'm hanging on a string, honey Still i'm hanging on a string
