You me wrapped around your finger

Like a yo-yo on a string

Playing games with my heart

And I can't do a thing

You throw me down and then you snap me up

I'm in the palm of your hand

Why you get your kicks doing all these tricks

I'll never undestand



You give me just enough rope

Just enough hope

Just enough ties that bind

Just enough love

But not enough of

Security and peace of mind

You give me just enough slack then you yank me back

Right before I'm gone

You give me just enough rope

Just enough hope

To keep me hanging on



First you tell me that you love me

Then you push me away

How you're gonna treat me

Changes day to day

You build me up then you tear me down

When you got me standing tall

You pull the rug out from under me

Just to watch me fall



You give me just enough rope

Just enough hope

Just enough ties that bind

Just enough love

But not enough of

Security and peace of mind

You give me just enough slack then you yank me back

Right before I'm gone

You give me just enough rope

Just enough hope

To keep me hanging on
