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 isn't wrong   Yet I've found   The more you hug and call 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      It's broken, could let that open   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've told myself it isn't right but it isn't wrong   Yeah, I 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 wanna swing me up and back   And I've got to move forward   So I've cut the cord      It's broken, could let that open   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 don't come back when I'm thrown      Didn't I adore you? Didn't I 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   I'll be on my way   I'm not a yo-yo   I don't come back when I'm thrown   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   I'm not a thing you let go   I'm not a thing you let go   I'm not a thing you let go   Ohh no, no   I'll be on my way   I'm not a yo-yo   I'm not a thing you let go   I'm not a thing you let go   I'm not a thing you let go   I'm not a thing you let go   I'm not a thing you let go
