You've got me wrapped around your finger
Like a yo-yo on a string
Playing 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 that ties the bind
Just enough love but not enough of
Security or piece of mind
You give me just enough slack then you yank it back
Right before I'm gone
You give me just enough rope and 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 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 that ties the bind
Just enough love but not enough of
Security or piece of mind
You give me just enough slack then you yank it back
Right before I'm gone
You give me just enough rope and just enough hope
To keep me hangin' on

You give me just enough rope, just enough hope
Just enough that ties the bind
Just enough love but not enough of
Security or piece of mind
You give me just enough slack then you yank it back
Right before I'm gone
You give me just enough rope and just enough hope
To keep me hangin' on

You give me just enough rope and just enough hope
To keep me hangin' on
