Song lyrics - YoYo

A song that has been written over 21 years it has taken this long to be ready for its final verse

Hit me when I’m down
Push me to the ground
Play games with my mind
Do you think I am blind
Don’t you think I can see
What you’re doing to me
Does it make you feel good
Do you really think you should
Treat me like this ….

I’m not a yo-yo you know
I won’t go where you go
I won’t do what you do
I won’t watch you turn blue
Kill yourself every day
Karma will make you pay

I thought you were the one
I gave birth to your son
Why can’t you give it up
Have you not had enough
You know there’s more to life
Than a needle and a knife
Does it make you feel good
Do you really think you should
Treat you like this

You’re not a yo-yo you know
Why go where they go
Why do what they do
Why watch them turn blue
Heroin every day
Your love you pay

Well now that you’ve moved on
And your smack says are done
Fifteen years had past
This time I thought we’d last
But it wasn’t to be
Of selffishness your not free
Does it make you feel good
Do you really think you should
Life life like this

I’m not a yo-yo you know
I cant go where you go
I can’t do what you do
I can’t help you get through
I’m free from this day
Forgiveness I pay

i enjoyed your choice of words, the biting sharpness, the viscerally
honest display (imagery) of hurtful betrayal,
with your use of minimal phrasing upon this...
makes this lyrically pleasing, catchy and quite relatable,
in a compelling, non-cliche way.

my favorite lines are the final verses.

thank you, for sharing ~ x
