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.
