Why keep me hangin' on a string ring a ding a ding

Everybody knows but you I wish you'd understand

Don't keep me in promised land

Why can't you be true are they all like you


Why pretend you're a lotta lie trappin' every guy

Or any man that falls for you why can't you understand

A fellow's in wonderland when love is so new are they all like you


You know you may think you're bein' smart

Breakin' some foolish heart but you can't fool me

What you've never had you've never missed

And I've not been kissed by you


Why keep me danglin' on a string ring a ding a ding

Playin' hard to get's not new wish I could understand

What makes you so underhand

When I love you so true are they all like you


You know you may think you're bein' smart

Breakin' some foolish heart but you can't fool me

What you've never had you've never missed

And I've not been kissed by you


Why keep me danglin' on a string ring a ding a ding

Playin' hard to get's not new wish I could understand

What makes you so underhand

Why can't you be true when love is so new

When I love you so true are they all like you.
