Pretty Babies - Karen Elson

Got me hanging on a string, honey

Got me hanging for dear life

Mama told me not to be so bold

And now I’m paying a heavy price

I fell head first into the fire

What a foolish thing to do

Gambled every bit of sense I had

And now 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 guess

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

A sad and sorry, lonesome tune

I watched the faces as they pass me by

I’m hoping that I’ll see you

I call your phone, it’s disconnected

Yeah it somehow no longer stands

Guess the devil came and took you back

And now your 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 guess

Still I’m hanging on a string, honey

Still I’m hanging on a string
