“Strings” (Poem/Song): Written By Viola Pressley

Just one look and a few
short glances.

I knew I wanted you and
I was ready to chance it.

Then you caught me looking at
you. You totally caught me
off guard.

I stood trying to control my
emotions. My main concern
was to protect my heart.

From the minute you first walked
into the room, I told all the
guys trying to hit on me to
step aside.

I literally told them to beat
it, get lost and take a ride.

I told them to get out of my way,
for they were blocking my view.

I couldn’t take my eyes off you,
so what else could I do?

You totally stole my heart.

I tried hard not to show it.
I tried to play it off.

It’s five o’clock in the morning
and I’m not the least bit
concerned about the time.

You can see right through me.
You know exactly what I want
you to do to me.

Though I try to control it.
I’m well aware it’s impossible
for me not to show it.

By the look on your face, I can
tell you know that going home
is the furthest thing from my mind.

I’m not concerned about your past.
I just want to do everything within
my power to make each minute last.

But there’s just one little thing
my dear. Let me make this very clear.

When it comes to the issue of strings,
one night stands don’t mean a thing.

You don’t have to question. You
don’t need to ask. Let me be the one
to tell you, that you best believe
I want strings attached.

You know I want to go home with you,
and I know that too. But I’ll have
no plans on letting you go anytime
soon, if I do.

It won’t be my intention to let you
get away from me, not that fast.

For me to say that I don’t want any
strings attached, I’d be lying to you.

You best believe I’d never want to
let you go, should I get a hold of you.

That won’t be a good way to start
off a relationship, for I wouldn’t
be telling you the truth.

Give me strings. Give me a link
that runs from me to you.

To say that I don’ want any strings
attached would be a blatant lie,
a fact I won’t deny.

Should I give my love to you,
you best believe I want strings
attached, otherwise my loving you
would only be a waste of my time.

To say that I don’t want strings
attached, baby I’m not crazy.

If there is one thing I don’t
ever plan on doing, one of them
is to share my baby.

I would never be willing to love
a man who expects me to allow
him to go out and give his love
to another lady.

One thing I’m not is one to get
caught up in a crazy love triangle.

I’m not the kind of woman to need
the love of a man who has the love
of different women coming at him
from every angle.

Ask me if I want strings attached.
You better believe it.

Baby you know I want your love.

You’re all that matters to me.
You’re all I’m thinking of.

But when it comes to having your
love, if there will be no strings
attached, then I don’t need it.
You can keep it.

Call me stingy. I don’t care.

When it comes to a man I love,
I’m not willing to share.

Call me ungenerous if it pleases
you. If I’m going to be faithful
to a man, in return I also expect
him to be true.

To give him permission to go out
and also give his love to another
is something I’ll never do.

Call me a miser. Call me tight.

I won’t be the fool for love.
My love I would never willing
give up. I will never be that
woman who will want to give you
my love today, and find you in
the arms of another tomorrow night.

Baby give me strings.
Give me a link.
I’ll take a chain that can’t
be broken.
Tell me, what do you think?

Give me a connection, a love
connection that isn’t weak.

Baby if I’m going to play the
game of love with you, let me
tell you a thing or two,
I’m playing for keeps.

Give me ties. Give me a bond.

Get ready for some real action.
Prepare yourself for some
satisfaction. Watch how I respond.

You say you want one night
with me. Baby are you sure?

Do you have any idea of what you’re
getting yourself into. I bet you
have no clue as to what you would
be in for.

It’s five o’clock in the morning
and I’m buzzing like a honey bee.

You want to take me home with you,
but tell me what will you do,
should I decide I want to stay
and never leave?

So you say you want one night
with me, with no strings attached.

Well baby just for the record,
I can’t go for that.

Just one night of loving you
would never be enough.

Baby you know you’re bad. You
already know you’re hot stuff.

Though you say you just want one
night with me, I know good and
well that’s not what you really
mean, that’s why I’m willing to
call your bluff.

If I know better I can guarantee,
you’ll be ringing my phone seven
days a week.

Seven days a week I want to get
my hands on you and see you in
the buff, give you all my love.

It’s important that we start love
right and not off the cuff.

What I want is a love all of
my own. I don’t think that’s
too much to ask.

If I can’t have you all to myself,
I’d much rather leave you alone,
should you feel it’s too hard
of a task.

I mean each and every word of
what I say, so you’ll never have
to worry about me taking them back.

If you’re ready and willing to handle
strings, if you’re willing to accept
a connection, a bond, chain and
link, then the two of us will have
something in common. We’ll both
be after the same thing. We’ll be
headed down the right track.

Give me strings anytime. I’ll take
you with strings. You’ll be mine
all mine.

You’re looking good. You’re looking
mighty fine.

Give me strings. Give me chains.
Love me in a way I’ll never forget.

Give me a good work out. Really
make me sweat.

I want to see you love me in such
a way, that you’ll have me calling
out your name, proudly without
any shame.

I don’t need to think it
through.

Baby you know that I want you.

I want you with strings.
I want you with chains.

Come into my world and baby
nothing will be the same.

You’ll have nothing to lose,
only a lot of love to gain.

I’ll make you forget all about
the way things were. You’ll
never want to go back to that again.
