he's all so big and flossed
If you had a deep relationship now,
he'd be a little boy lost
See him walking down the street
Acting like he was maybe a king
But just one word from you
An d he'll be on his knees
promising anything
String him along
String him along
String him along
String him along
He only enjoys her,
cos he knows it hurts you
But he'd be devastated,
if you found someone new
He never noticed your tenderness
He never looked on you, it's best fair
Who thinks he's somebody
when really he's no one at all
And sometimes you want to say something
before things go wrong
You know I always admired you
because you were that strong
And it's what you do now
to string him along
String him along, string him along,
string him along
And when he gets a little older
And life gets a little colder
He'll wonder where he went wrong
And how you were right
And you could both have gone along
So string him along
String him along
String him along
String him along
See him walking down the street
Acting like he was maybe a kid
But just one word from you
And he'll be on his knees
promising everything
Oh, string him along
String him along, the little jerk now
String him along, hey,
you're so clever now
String him along, yeah
String him along,
wish that were me now
String him along
String him along
String him along
String him along, yeah
String him along
