Whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo (whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo)
Whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo (whoa, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo)

Girl it's hard for me to see (do-do)
How you got such a hold on me (do-do)
First I'm up, and then I'm down (do-do)
Then my heart goes around and around (do-do) (round and 'round)
Well, I bet you five dollars I'm the only fool
Who would climb up a string for you (yeah)
Oh yeah, and need I say I can't break away
You control every little thing I do (yeah)
I used to be a swinger
Till you wrapped me 'round your finger
Yeah, just like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo)
Just like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo)

Turnin', turnin' love keeps a-burnin' (ho, ho, ho)
Like a fire in my heart (ho, ho, ho)
When we're apart, but when we're back together (ho, ho, ho)
You keep changin' like the weather (ho, ho, ho)
Whoops now, oh yeah (ho, ho, ho)
Like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo)
Ohh, just like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo)
Hear what he said, like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo)
Ow, just like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo)

Where I go, and what I do (do-do)
Well it all just depends on you (do-do)
You build me up just to let me down (do-do)
But I dare not to make a sound (do-do)
'Cause I'm so afraid you will cast me away
Like a beat up, worn out toy (yeah)
So I hold on tight with all of my might
Just to be your lovin' boy, yeah
No matter what you say or do
I gotta bounce right back to you now (woo-ah)
Just like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo)
Just like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo)

Turnin', turnin' love keeps a-burnin' (ho, ho, ho)
Like a fire in my heart (ho, ho, ho)
When we're apart, but when we're back together (ho, ho, ho)
You keep changin' like the weather (ho, ho, ho)
Whoops, now oh yeah like a yo-yo
Oh just like a yo-yo, yeah

Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo (ho, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo) (oh-oh)
Oh, ho, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo (ho, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo) (oh-oh)

Oh, ho, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo (ho, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo) (oh-oh)
Oh, ho, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo (ho, ho, ho, just like a yo-yo) (oh-oh)
