Just Enough Rope

[Verse 1]
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 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

[Chorus]
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope
Just enough ties that bind
Just enough love but not enough of
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
First, 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

[Chorus]
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope
Just enough ties that bind
Just enough love but not enough of
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope
Just enough ties that bind
Just enough love but not enough of
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

[Tag]
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope
To keep me hangin' on
