Just Enough Rope Lyrics - Linda Davis

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
