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.
Hes still drifting to and fro, like a yo-yo.

His wife is in the kitchen, fixin her old mans tea
Shes thinking to herself,
Hes not the man that married me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They used to laugh together, now hes never at home.
Now shes fighting back the tears, she cant even laugh alone.
Shes just sitting by the telephone, like a yo-yo.

You needed me when you were crying,
But now youre laughing Im the last thing on your mind.
First you love me, then you dont.
Im 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 Ill go.
You got me sussed, but you dont know,
Im a yo-yo.
Just like a yo-yo on a string.
Im 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 wont last for long,
So dont 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 youre laughing Im the last thing on your mind.
First you love me, then you dont.
Im up and down,
Like a yo-yo.
Yo-yo.
Im a yo-yo (yo-yo).
Like a yo-yo.
