Too High Strung


I’m here to sing I’m over you

She don’t wanna treat me like I want her to

Cause that’s the way she do things where she’s from


A fool was I I’m well aware

Paint me like a villain but I just don’t care

Cause that’s the way we do things where I’m from


Cause we’re all young, still sucking our thumbs

Thinking were bright as hell with hearts so dumb

Played me like fiddle with the strings so high strung


And in her hand is the wild idea that life’s so grand

She’s all alone with the onomatopoeia sizzle bang boom gone

Check please I’m all done. She’s too high strung


Every time she finds another please beware

A sucker born every minute, whoops don’t care

For I have moved on to the next place to be from


Cause we’re all young, sucking our thumbs

Thinking were bright as hell with hearts so dumb

Played me like fiddle with the strings so high strung


And in her hand is the wild idea that life’s so grand

She’s all alone with the onomatopoeia sizzle bang boom gone

Check please I’m all done. She’s too high strung


Down, down, down, down inside

It’s been a long and lonely bump bumpy ride

and now you want a shoulder on which to cry

and then someone to take you inside for life


And in her hand is the wild idea that life’s so grand

She’s all alone with the onomatopoeia sizzle bang boom gone

Check please I’m all done. She’s too high strung

She’s too high strung

She’s too high… strung
