Marvelettes, The - Tie A String Around Your Finger Lyrics






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

You said (said)
Darlin', you will remember the thrill of my kiss
And the thrill of my lonely arms you'll always miss
So tie (tie) a string around your finger (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, never stray
For I'll always keep you for our devoted love
Come what may, my love will never fade away

Mmmm, 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 (round your finger)
And tie a string around your finger (tie a string)
Please don't forget me (round your finger)
Just tie a string around your fïnger

    @tomovox P.S. that's not meant as a slight to the Andantes- I just love that this is one of those rare occasions where a a track wasn't mixed so much so as to remove a nice moment of absolute soulful rawness.

    great early Marvelettes sound backed with primo Holland-Dozier-Holland production. Gladys is perfection and it's nice to hear her on a slow ballad. One of the most outstanding things here is how you can clearly hear Katherine, Georgeanna and Wanda out front while the Andantes add "color" by doing the ooohs and ahhhs in the background. But notice how the Marvelettes come in at around 1:30 on the "ahhhs" and pretty much bury the Andantes' vocals. I just love that part so much!
