Whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo yo. (just like a yo yo)
Whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo yo. (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 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 just 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), 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.

Whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.  (just like a yo yo)
Whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.  (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. (yeah)
No matter what you say or do,
I gotta bounce right back to you now
just like a yo yo.  (just like a yo yo)
Just like a yo yo.

'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 gotta bounce right back to you now
just like a yo yo.  (just like a yo yo)
Just like a yo yo.

Whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
