Girl On A String Lyrics - John Hiatt

Well hes got her going up and down like a yo-yo 

And she never feels better than ever, just so-so 

Like a shrunken head on a rear view mirror 

She rides along in his atmosphere 

Like furry dice or some voodoo thing 

Hes got that girl on a string 

Since they tied the knot he keeps her in stitches 

And when she ain't banged up, shes sewing his britches 

Like a line between the orange juice cans 

Shes strung out on his childish demands 

To meet him out by the backyard swing 

Hes got that girl on a string 

Girl on a string, just a little play toy 

Girl on a string, for a little bad boy 

Girl on a string, hes dragging her around 

Girl on a string, hes tying her down

She carries his baby straddled on her hipbone 

And theres another on the way, just wait till they get home 

The deeper into darkness they get 

The more she sees the silhouette 

Of a girl who wanted pretty things 

Not that girl on a string
