Yo Yo
Wo oh ho,
just like a yo yo.
Wo oh ho,
just like a yo yo.
Girl it's hard for me to see
how you got such a hold on me.
First I'm up, and then I'm down.
Then my heart goes
around and around.
Well, I'll bet you five dollars
I'm the only fool
who would climb
up a string for you.
And need I say
I can't break away,
you control every
little thing I do.
I used to be your swinger,
‘til you wrapped me
'round your finger...
Just like a yo yo,
just like a yo yo.
Turnin', turnin' love keeps a-burnin'
like a fire in my heart when
we're apart, but
when we're back together,
you keep changin' like the weather.
Whoops! Now Oh yeah
like a yo yo.
Just like a yo yo.
Here what I said, just like a yo yo.
Oh , just like a yo yo.
Where I go, and what I do,
well it all just depends on you.
You build me up just to let me down.
But I dare not to make a sound.
'Cause I'm so afraid you
will cast me away
like a beat up,
worn out toy.
So I hold on tight
with all of my might,
just to be your lovin' boy.
No matter what
they say or do,
I gotta bounce right
back to you now
just like a yo yo.
Just like a yo yo.
Turnin', turnin' love keeps a-burnin'
like a fire in my heart when
we're apart, but when
we're back together,
you keep changin' like the weather.
Whoops! Now Oh yeah
like a yo yo.
Just like a yo yo.
Wo oh ho,
just like a yo yo.
Wo oh ho,
just like a yo yo.
