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
