Lyrics

[Intro]
Every guy is guilty of thinking sometimes
That the grass is greener on the other side of the fence
Every girl is guilty of waiting so long, sometimes
'Til it seems like it doesn't make sense
[Chorus]
Strung out
Over you
I'm strung out over you
[Verse 1]
Though I know
That you're no good
And loving you
Is oh so senseless
But I can't help myself
'Cause darling, for you
I'm so weak and defenseless
[Chorus]
I'm strung out
Over you
Ooh, I'm strung out over you
[Verse 2]
I've got myself to blame
For not being strong enough
Oh, I just wasn't strong enough
To keep from being untrue
I won't blame you
If you cut me loose
You did all you could do
[Bridge]
Ooh, baby
(It's your love, our love, ooh, yeah)
I'm gonna stop right now
From misusing your affection
And leading you
In the wrong direction
And I won't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Oh darlin'
Hmm, I just can't stop
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm strung out over you
Ooh, and I'm strung out over you, too
Ooh, hoo, hoo, I'm strung out, strung out
I'm strung out over you
Ooh, I'm strung out, strung out
I'm strung out over you
Hmm, I'm strung out, strung out
And I'm strung out over you
Oh, baby
Strung out, strung out
And I just can't help myself, tellin' you
Strung out, strung out
And I'm strung out over you (Hey, hey, hey!)
