Nicola Roberts - Yo-Yo Lyrics

I'm the kind of girl that likes to dream a lot, dream a lot
Lose myself staring into my coffee cup coffee cup
You and me easy to see
Why is it a complicated reality?

All these other girls they say you're full of it
And talking shit
I know what the deal is, I can handle it, handle it
You come around, stop messing around
If you wanna be my baby please tell me now

Don't want to be the last to know oh oh oh
Will it be a yes or no oh oh oh?
You swingin' me up
You swingin' me down
I feel like a yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo

If you would only know what you have done to me, done to me
Everytime we met it's like I'm all day long to get ready
Try all the tricks, check out my list
Voodoo you'll get tied so just look at me now

Don't want to be the last to know oh oh oh
Will it be a yes or no oh oh oh?
You swingin' me up
You swingin' me down
I feel like a yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo

Don't want to be the last to know oh oh oh
Will it be a yes or no oh oh oh?
You swingin' me up
You swingin' me down
I feel like a yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo

All of the things you sayin'
I'm hangin' on you everyday
All of the things you promised
I'm tryin' so hard to make it work
All of the things you whispered
It gets me crazy everyday
All of the things you talkin'
All of the things you talkin'
I'm in the mirror cryin' for you
Should I come or go?
The way you make me feel so good
It's like no one else
I'm all around your fingers
And I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go

Don't want to be the last to know oh oh oh
Will it be a yes or no oh oh oh?
You swingin' me up
You swingin' me down
I feel like a yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo

Song Information

The track, "Yo-Yo", has been compared to the sound of Kate Bush and described as "wistful", featuring the lyrics "I'm the kind of girl who likes to dream a lot" and "He tried to seduce me, Off his head, I'm allergic to dairy". It opens with an 808 kick drum, and the track "thumps to a dramatic, 50's girlpop pastiche". The "unhinged" choruses featuring explicit words, lyrics such as "Don?t want to be the last to know-oh oh oh", and during the middle-eight of the track the 1950s theme "completely goes out the window" for a classic club mix featuring a drum machine.
