[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?
