I’ve Got the World On a String Lyrics

I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love

I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see - I'm in love

Life's is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let it go

I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love

Life's is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let it go

I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
I'm walking around with my head in a clouds
See Barry Manilow Live
Get tickets as low as $25
And I'm feeling so good
I don't want to come down
And I'm shouting it out
I'm in love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
