Just Enough Rope

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
