Then drops me down
And I can’t see any method to the madness
I try to be tough
I try to act like a clown
Because I don’t want to fall back into sadness
And I take long walks
I try to meditate
And I talk and talk
But even drugs can’t change my state of mind
I am like a yo yo
Rise and fall
I’m just like a yo yo
I don’t hold the string
I am like a yo yo
Rise and fall
I’m just like a yo yo
And these ups and downs make the world spin Around me
Life gives me hope
Then leaves me twisting in the wind
And I can’t see the rhyme or the reason
I try to cope
I try never to give in
But it’s like trying to fight a change of seasons
And I play my guitar
I call a friend
I take a drive in the car
But these ups and downs they never end for me
I am like a yo yo
Rise and fall
I’m just like a yo yo
I don’t hold the string
I am like a yo yo
Rise and fall
And I’m just a yo yo
And these ups and downs make the world spin Around me
And I walk the dog
I sleep all morning long
I make things look alright
Even when they’re all wrong
‘Cause I know the tricks
Just like a childhood song
So rock me baby
Because there’s something wrong with me
