Stringing Me Along lyrics
by The Winans
[Verse 1: Meelah]
I've been kickin' myself ever since
I gave my love to you a hundred percent
And you gave nothin' in return
The only time you seemed concerned
Is when you wanted to lay up
You kept telling me that I was the one
And you kept sellin' me dream after dream
But after so many dreams deferred
I saw you for what you were
And that was someone who really didn't care
[Chorus: 702, Meelah]
How can something feel so right really be so wrong?
Why were you (Why?) stringing me along for the ride?
I can't let you get back inside (No, no)
[Verse 2: Meelah, 702]
And now you're wantin' to make it right?
Blowin' up my pager and phone day and night
Like I should up and let you in
To my open arms again
I don't think so, not a chance
I am stronger now thanks to you
I've turned a negative thing into something
Something positive, now I know that I can live
Without the likes of you around
[Chorus: 702, Meelah]
How can something feel so right really be so wrong?
Why were you (Were you, you) stringing me along for the ride?
(I can't) I can't let you get back inside
How can something feel so right really be so wrong?
Why were you stringing me along for the ride? (Oh, mmm, oh)
I can't let you get back inside (I can't let you)
[Bridge: 702, Meelah]
And now you swear to God that you have made a change (Now you swear, oh)
But when I look at you, I think of all the pain (The pain)
You unnecessarily brought on me (You brought on me)
Never again (Never again), never again (No)
[Chorus: 702, Meelah]
How can something feel so right really be so wrong?
Why were you (Why were) stringing me along for the ride? (Hey, hey, for the ride)
I can't let you get back inside (I can't let you back inside)
How can something feel so right really be so wrong?
(Boy, you been stringing me along)
Why were you stringing me along for the ride? (For the ride, yeah, yeah, and I)
I can't let you get back inside (Can't let you back inside, now go)
How can something feel so right really be so wrong?
Why were you stringing me along for the ride?
I can't let you get back inside
How can something feel so right
