World on a String Lyrics

[Chorus]
I've got the world on a string
Sittin' on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
Lucky me
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love, love?

[Verse 1]
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?

[Pre-Chorus]
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let you go

[Chorus]
I've got the world on a string (Ah)
And I'm sittin' on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger (Ah)
Lucky me
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?
Love, love
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?
Love, love
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
