Peabo Bryson

Songwriter: Peabo Bryson

Another day has come and gone
In the city, yeah
Somebody tryin' to stop me from livin' my life
Free and easy

Snow gets stormy on Monday, hey, baby
A month of Tuesdays super bad
Save my soul on Sunday
I found the best love I ever had
Well, it's too bad

Just a man on a string
(Just a man on a string)
A revelation
(Just a man on a string)
Don't try to run my life
(Just a man on a string)

Another trick before my eyes
You sure could be a magician, yeah
Many people saving their lives
The master politician

Don't wait or run in the country, oh, well
That's a funny kind of day
Yes it is, yes it is
Got no job and no money
Is this the way you play the game
It's a doggone shame

Just a man on a string
(Just a man on a string)
Face the nation
(Just a man on a string)
See what's on your mind
(Just a man on a string)
Mass relation

(Just a man on a string)
Are you on the line, yeah
(Just a man on a string)
I can't get no information
(Just a man on a string)
I better search and I better survive
Yeah, yeah
(Just a man on a string)
For the people, saving their lives
Just a man on a string
