"(You Keep Me) Hanging On" lyrics

"(You Keep Me) Hanging On"

It's true you got me wrapped around you finger
Seems to me like that's where I belong
You know you know how to hold me
You know how to thrill me
And you know how to control me, makin' me like it

Just enough to keep me hangin' on
Just enough to keep me hangin' on

My heart is like a yo-yo string
I'm tied to you, tied to you, right or wrong
My love keeps right on growing
And your love just keeps right on showing
Making me like it

Just enough to keep me hangin' on
Just enough to keep me hangin' on

A heart as true as mine
Can make you do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches
And dreaming those old silly dreams

Oh sweetheart, you got me
Got me where you want me
You just keep stringing me along

Just enough to keep me hangin' on
Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on
Just enough to keep me hangin' on

Just enough to keep me hangin' on
Just enough to keep me hangin' on
