There are many different people
Livin' double lives
One for the office
And one that they take home to their wives
He sits in the armchair, watches Channel 4
With his brains not expected home for an hour or more
He's still drifting to and from
Like a yo-yo
His wife is in the kitchen, fixin' her old man's tea
She's thinking to herself
"He's not the man that married me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
They used to laugh together, now he's never at home
Now she's fighting back the tears, she can't even laugh alone
She's just sitting by the telephone
Like a yo-yo
You needed me when you were crying
But now you're laughing, I'm the last thing on your mind
First, you love me, then you don't
I'm up and down
Like a yo-yo
Yo-yo
Ah, you thought you knew me pretty well
But with people like me, you never can tell
You can only guess which way I'll go
You got me sussed, but you don't know
