Ooh
You stretch me out like a rubber band
Girl, you got my life in the palm of your hand
(That's what you did to me, baby)
You stretch me out like a rubber band
You got my life in the palm of your hand
Listen to me

Like a bird, yeah, with a broken wing, honey
I picked you up, yeah, and made you sing again, yes, I did
And now, baby, you're back up on your feet
All you want to do, baby, is run the street, but, listen

You knew it wouldn't last forever
It's gonna take some time to pull myself together 'cause
You stretch me out like a rubber band
You got my life in the palm of your hand (every day, yeah)

You stretch me out like a rubber band
You got my life in the palm of your hand
Listen, I wanna tell the world 'bout you
Come here

Gave my love now and you broke my heart, yes, you did
Took all my dreams and tore them all apart, honey
Do you recall, baby? Oh, did you forget, honey?
I dried your eyes on the days that they were wet, listen

But you knew it wouldn't last forever
It's gonna take some time to get myself together, yeah
That's alright
Oh, I'll get over it, baby

You knew it wouldn't last forever
I'm gonna take some time and get myself together 'cause
You stretch me out like a rubber band
You got my life in the palm of your hand (every day, yeah, yeah)

You stretch me out like a rubber band
You got my life in the palm of your hand (that's alright, baby)
(That's alright)

You stretch me out like a rubber band
You got my life in the palm of your hand (look here)

That's alright, yeah, yeah, yeah

You stretch me out like a rubber band (I picked you up)
(Now you got my life in the palm of your hand) when you were down and out
But I'll get over it, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

You stretch me out like a rubber band
Now you got my life in the palm of your hand (that's alright)
You wanna run the streets but that's alright

Stretch me out like a rubber band

Yes, I will, yes, I will
