I've Got The World On A String
Lisa Stansfield · Other Songs - Lisa Stansfield
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
I've got a new song I sing, I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger, lucky me, can't you see?
I'm in love
Life's a wonderful thing, long as I hold that string
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger, what a world, what a life
I'm in love
Life's a crazy thing, long as I hold that string
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger, what a world
Man this is the life, hey now, I'm in love
