|
There are many different people, |
|
Livin' double lives. |
|
One for the office, |
|
And one that they take home to their wives. |
|
He sits in the armchair, watching channel 4, |
|
With his brains not expected home for an hour or more. |
|
He's still drifting to and fro, like a yo-yo. |
|
His wife is in the kitchen, fixin' her old man's tea |
|
She's thinking to herself, |
|
"He's not the man that married me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." |
|
They used to laugh together, now he's never at home. |
|
Now she's fighting back the tears, she can't even laugh alone. |
|
She's just sitting by the telephone, like a yo-yo. |
|
You needed me when you were crying, |
|
But now you're laughing I'm the last thing on your mind. |
|
First you love me, then you don't. |
|
I'm up and down, |
|
Like a yo-yo. |
|
Yo-yo. |
|
Ah, you thought you knew me pretty well, |
|
But with people like me you never can tell. |
|
You can only guess which way I'll go. |
|
You got me sussed, but you don't know, |
|
I'm a yo-yo. |
|
Just like a yo-yo on a string. |
|
I'm a yo-yo. |
|
Little child playing with a yo-yo. |
|
Yo-yo, yo-yo. |
|
Girl you had me dangling, like a yo-yo on a string, |
|
But with you at the controls I could accomplish anything, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. |
|
You were just playing, I was a little boy, |
|
But when I grew into a man you just threw away your toy, |
|
Like a yo-yo. |
|
Yo-yo. |
|
You might be popular, but it won't last for long, |
|
So don't give up the day job, in case it all goes wrong. |
|
Look at your ego, watch it go, up and down, |
|
Like a yo-yo. |
|
Yo-yo. |
|
You needed me when you were crying, |
|
But now you're laughing I'm the last thing on your mind. |
|
First you love me, then you don't. |
|
I'm up and down, |
|
Like a yo-yo. |
|
Yo-yo. |
|
I'm a yo-yo (yo-yo). |
|
Like a yo-yo. |
