I see her every morning as the sun comes up.
I see her coming from a long way off
I know it’s her from the way she walks.
She wears a little red cap pulled down tight on her head
And when she leaves me alone I remember every word that she said
Girl, girl, girl ....you got the world on a string
Are you in control or is it reeling you in?
I know you got a man and a little black dog too
But do they love you the way that I do
Am I imagining it, just something you said.
It’s been playing on my mind. I can’t get it out of my head.
Girl, girl, girl ....you got the world on a string
Are you in control or is it reeling you in?
Each and every morning I watch you walk away
Carrying the feeling of a thousand yesterdays
Each and every morning you bring me the news.
Like sugar in my coffee you take away my blues.
Girl, girl, girl… You got the world on a string
Are you in control or is it reeling you in?
