Yo-yo Songtext

von Mandy Moore

It's broken
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go

I keep hanging around
Got some attachement to you
Way down is still where you get through
I've told myself it isn't right
But it isn't wrong
Yet I've found
The more you hot and cold me
The more I need protecting
Can't hear myself singing the same sad song
Oh, and it's not hard to figure out
Why I am never too far from the floor
You can only take me up and down
I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord

Chorus:
It's broken
I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown

Yeah, I keep hanging around
But can't defy gravity
Rebound every time you touch me
I've told myself it isn't right
But it isn't wrong
Yet I've found
The more you high and low me
The more I need stability
Can't hear myself singing this for too long
Oh, and now you've come to face the fact
But I'm running fast as I can to the door
'Cause you just wanna swing me up and back
And I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord

Chorus

I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go

Didn't I adore you
Didn't I bend to keep you satisfied
Didn't I.....
Didn't I assure you
For every climb there is a downward slide
That I can't ride
Didn't I adore you
Didn't I bend to keep you satisfied
Didn't I.....
Didn't I assure you
For every climb there is a downward slide
I had to cut the cord

It's broken
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
And I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown
Oh, I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go (X5)
Oh, no, no
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go (X6)
