Yo Yo

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 attachment to you
Way down is still where you get through
I 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 got to move forward
So I’ve cut the cord 

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 

I keep hanging around 
But can’t defy gravity
Rebound every time you touch me
I 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 got to move forward 
So I’ve cut the cord 

It’s broken
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 

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 

Leavin’ me no choice
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 

I’m not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go 
Not a thing you let go
I’m not a thing you let go 

Oh no no
I’ll be on my way
I’m not a yo-yo
Not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go
