Yo Yo

(albüm: Joe South - 1971)

Alright
It's alright
Aw, hit it
Whoa
Ready now?
Hey

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, child
Need I say I can't break away
You control everything I do

I used to be such a swinger
Until you wrapped me around your little finger
Just like a yo-yo
Hey, just like a yo-yo

Listen, oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho, now you say it (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Get loose

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, uh

Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Hey, just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Whoa, just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

Now, where I go and what I do
Child, 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
Just to be your loving boy

Hey, no matter what you say or do
I got to bounce right back to you
Just like a yo-yo, hey (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Whoa, just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho, alright (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
Lord, you keep a-changing like the weather
Whoop, now
Up and down like a yo-yo
Just like a yo-yo

Oh, ho, ho (Oh, ho, ho)
Whoa, just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho, now y'all say it (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho, sounds so fine (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh, ho, ho, hey (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

Alright, first I'm up, then I'm down (Oh, ho, ho)
Then I fool around just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Hey, hey, hey (Oh, ho, ho)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
