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 understand
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
