Lyrics Swingin' On A String - Otis Redding

Swingin' On A String

You got my knees a’shakin'
You got my head a’ragin'
You got me doin' that thing
That I don’t wanna do now
You got me reelin', lockin'
You got my fingers poppin'
You got my mind messed up
I don’t know what to do now
You’ve got me in a world
That I’m not used to honey
It’s such a crazy world
You got me lovin' you babe
You got me hesitatin'
You got me startin', waitin'
You got my mind messed up
I don’t know what to do now
Swingin' on a string, that’s where I don’t want to be
But I can’t help it
Babe you gotta stop me from a’swingin'
Help me, all right, yes you do
Ha, you got my head a’achin'
You got my legs a’shakin'
You got me doin' the thing that I don’t wanna do now
You got my note wide open
You got indexes talkin'
You got me swingin' on a string, yes you have now
Swingin' on a string, I don’t wanna be
But I can’t help it, babe you got to stop me from a’swingin'
Yes you have, all right, yes you do now
You got me desperate, talkin'
You got me startin' smokin'
You got me doin' the thing that I don’t wanna do now
You got me hesitatin'
You got me just a’waitin'
You got my mind messed up, I don’t know what to do now
You got me in a world that I’m not used to huh
It’s such a crazy world, you got me wantin' you babe
You got my heart a' yearin'
You got my nose burnin'
You got me swingin' on a swing, yes you have
Swingin' on a swing, I don’t wanna be
But I can’t help it, babe you got to stop me from a’swingin'
Yes you have, swingin' baby, I’m swingin' too hard
You got me rockin' babe, I don’t know which way to go
Don’t know where to turn, I don’t know what to say babe
I don’t know, know, no, no
You got me rockin' honey, you got me beggin' babe
I’m smokin' twenty packs of cigarettes…
