Yo-Yo

Joe South

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

[Verse 1]
Girl, 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 'round
I bet you five dollars I'm the only fool
Who will climb up a string for you
And need I say I can't break away
You control everything I do
I used to be a swinger
'Til you wrapped me around your finger

[Chorus]
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

[Bridge]
Turnin', turnin'
Love keeps a-burnin'
Like a fire in my heart now
We're apart now
We're back together
You keep changin' like the weather
Whoops, now

[Chorus]
Up and down like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

[Verse 2]
Where I go and what I do
Girl, it all just depends on you
You build me up just to let me down
But I dare not to make a sound
'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

[Chorus]
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

[Bridge]
Turnin', turnin'
Love keeps a-burnin'
Like a fire in my heart now
We're apart now
We're back together
You keep changin' like the weather
Whoops, now

[Chorus]
Up and down like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)

[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Just like a yo-yo (Just like a yo-yo)
Oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh, oh)
