String Along

Rick Nelson · Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy] [2000]

(Jimmy Duncan - Bobby Doyle)



String along, that's all I am just your string along

Someone that you just seem to bring along

Whenever you are all alone

Need some company you always turn to me.



String along, that's all I do you're sorta string along

You never seem to notice I'm alone

I just want you to want me too

How I hope and pray hat you'll need me someday.



--- Instrumental ---



String along, that's all I am just your string along

Someone that you just seem to bring along

Whenever you are all alone

Need some company you always turn to me.



Treat me wrong and maybe soon you'll lose your string along

Someone may come and bring a love that's strong

And wanna string along with me

Find somebody who won't treat me like you do.



String along, that's all I am just your string along...
