The Osmond
 (Joe South)

 Ho, ho ho, just like a yo yo.
 Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
 Well 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'll 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 a swinger,
 until you wrapped me 'round your finger....

 Just like a yo yo,
 just like a yo yo.
 Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
 Ho, ho, ho, 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 up and down like a yo yo.
 Just like a yo yo.

 Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
 Ho, ho, ho, 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 my might,
 just to be your lovin' boy.
 No matter what you say or do,
 I'm gonna bounce right back to you now
 just like a yo yo.
 Just like a yo yo.

 Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
 Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo
