(John Phillips and Michelle Gilliam)
|
I fell in love with the string man
|
Who played guitar in a rock and roll band.
|
And every night I'd watch them play
|
But it happened at the matinee -
|
How I squirmed when he bent those strings,
|
And I screamed when he started to sing.
|
The way he moved and looked so groovy,
|
Well, ya know, he did something to me.
|
String man...string man...string man...string man...
|
So I followed the string man
|
Who played guitar in a string band.
|
And every night I'd watch them play,
|
And they got better everyday.
|
Pretty soon, and what do ya think (what do you think),
|
Everybody's saying they're the biggest thing (the biggest thing) -
|
Hit records and making the scene (the scene),
|
Sexy pictures in the fan magazines.
|
String man...string man...string man...string man...
|
|
I strung along with the string man;
|
He always called me his biggest fan.
|
Though he was kind, I should have known better
|
Than to think we'd always stay together.
|
And then one night the show was wild and loud,
|
And I saw a pretty girl out in the crowd.
|
She waved at him and caught his eye;
|
The way he looked at her it made me cry.
|
String man -
|
String man...string man...string man...
|
String man...string man...string man...
|
String man...string man...string man...
