Ian, Janis - You've Got Me On A String Lyrics
You've got me on a string
I don't mean a thing to you
I'm holding on to no one
I'm a long time lover
And my long time love is gone
If my man beats me, robs me blind
Long as he don't leave me, I don't mind
I would beg and I would crawl
Though it does no good at all
My man's been gone so long
And I keep holding on
And if he needed me, I'd be there
No matter how he mistreated me
I don't care
Though it does no good to please
My man's been gone for so long
And I keep holding on
Broken windows, boarded doorways
Choose your prison
When I'm with him
I'm a fool for loving you
And well I know
How the head says - no
And the heart says
Go down on your knees, woman
And keep on holding on

Ian, Janis You've Got Me On A String Comments
janis ian writes a laura nyro song and plays a killer guitar solo at the end
Can you tell me which song is that?
@Maria Diaz listen to anything off "New York Tendaberry" and you'll see what I mean.
You've got me on a string
I don't mean a thing to you
I'm holding on to no one
I'm a long time lover,
and my long time love is gone
If my man beats me, robs me blind
Long as he don't leave me, I don't mind
I would beg and I would crawl,
though it does no good at all
My man's been gone so long,
and I keep holding on
And if he needed me, I'd be there
No matter how he mistreated me
I don't care
I would get down on my knees,
though it does no good to please
My man's been gone for so long,
and I keep holding on
Empty pockets, boarded doorways
Choose your prison
When I'm with him
I'm a fool for loving you,
and well I know
how the head says - No
And the heart says -
Go down on your knees, woman,
and keep on holding on
did she say "if he beats me I don't care" ???
Apparently.
I forgot to insert the lyrics, but just rectified the mistake.:)
I warned it was controversial.
Just kinda surprised me ..
~ when it comes to things like that I always think " who am I to judge " .
People are very different , they like different things ..
Nice tune tho !!
@Troy Keener
Exactly. She was a victim, you know. It might explain a few things.
This song is a confession:

That was my first thought , but then I thought she could just like all that bsdm type stuff ..
But now I can see that's not the case..
Yes. Definitely. BDSM would be a much better option. At least there would be consent. Hopefully!
My favorite song by her.
