Song Lyrics

[Joe South]
Ho, ho ho, just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, 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, and then I'm down.
Then my heart goes around and around.
Well, I'll bet you five dollars I'm the only fool
Who'll climb up a string for you.

And need I say I can't break away,
You control every little thing I do.
I used to be a swinger,
Until you wrapped me 'round your finger....

Just like a yo yo,
Just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.

Turnin', turnin' love keeps a-burnin'
Like a fire in my heart
When we're apart, but when we're back together,
You keep changin' like the weather.

Whoops! Now up and down like a yo yo.
Just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.

Where I go, and what I do,
Well 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'm gonna bounce right back to you now

Just like a yo yo.
Just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
