You've got me wrapped around your finger like a yo-yo on a string
Playin' games with my heart. And I can't do a thing
Well you throw me down than you snap me up I'm in the palm of your hand
Why you get your kicks doin 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 off security or piece 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 hangin on

Well you tell me that you love me then you push me away
How you're gonna treat me changes day to day
Well you build me up then you tear me down and when you've got me standin'
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 off security or piece 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 hangin on

You give me just enough rope, just enough hope, just enough ties that bind
Just enough love but not enough off security or piece 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 hangin on
