Yo Yo

(album: Sher-oo! - 1968)

Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho (Oh, 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, then I'm down
Then my heart goes around and around

I'll bet you five dollars I'm the only fool
Who'd climb up a string for you
Need I say I can't break away
You control every thing I do

I used to be a swinger
Until you wrapped me around your little finger
Just like a yo-yo
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

Turning, turning
Love keeps a-burning
Like a fire in my heart, now
We're apart, now
We're back together
You keep a-changing like the weather
Whoop, now!
Up and down like a yo-yo
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

Where I go and what I do
It all just depends upon you
You build me up just to let me down
But I dare not to make a sound

'Cause I'm so afraid that you will throw me away
Like a beat up, worn out toy
So I hold on tight with all of my might
'Cause I want you to be my boy

No matter what you say or do
I got to bounce right back to you, boy
Just like a yo-yo
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

Turning, turning
Love keeps a-burning
Like a fire in my heart, now
We're apart, now
We're back together
You keep a-changing like the weather
Whoop, now!
Up and down like a yo-yo
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
