Tie A String Around Your Finger
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland/Janie Bradford)

While I'm gone (while I'm gone)
You say your love will stay so strong
& you like the day we meet
Tie a string around your finger so you won't forget
No no, don't you forget it now

You said (said), darlin', you would remember the thrill of my kiss
& the thrill of my lonely arms you'll always miss
So tie a string around your finger so you won't forget
Don't you dare forget it

While I'm gone I'll miss you, I know
But my lonely lonely heart will never never stray
For I'll always keep you for our devoted love
Come what may, my love will never fade away

You know (you know) it won't be easy to always stay true
No, it's no easy thing to do
But remember how much, how much I love you
& tie a string around your finger (tie a string)
& please don't forget me (round your finger)
Just tie a string around your finger
...& fade
