歌词
There are many different people
生活中有各种不同的人
Livin' double lives
过着双重生活
One for the office
一面为了工作
And one that they take home to their wives
另一面他们带回家面对妻子
He sits in the armchair, watching channel 4
他坐在扶手椅上,看着CCTV4
With his brains not expected home for an hour or more
他的大脑预计一个小时或更长时间都不在家
He's still drifting to and fro, like a yo-yo
他一直像个悠悠球一样来回晃动
His wife is in the kitchen, fixin' her old man's tea
他妻子在厨房里,沏着老头子的茶
She's thinking to herself
她在那暗暗思忖
"He's not the man that married me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
这不是当初那个娶我的男人了,不是,不是,不是,不是
They used to laugh together, now he's never at home
他们过去一起欢笑,而今他再也不回家
Now she's fighting back the tears, she can't even laugh alone
此刻她强忍住泪水,甚至自己一个人时也笑不出来了
She's just sitting by the telephone, like a yo-yo
她就像溜溜球一样守在电话旁
You needed me when you were crying
曾今伤心哭泣时你需要我
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

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

I'm a yo-yo

Girl you had me dangling, like a yo-yo on a string
女孩,你把我晃来晃去,像一个被绳子牵着的溜溜球
But with you at the controls I could accomplish anything, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
但在你的控制下,我可以完成任何事情
You were just playing, I was a little boy
你只是在玩,我还是一个小男孩
But when I grew into a man you just threw away your toy

Like a yo-yo

You might be popular, but it won't last for long
你现在可能很受欢迎,但不会持续很久的
So don't give up the day job, in case it all goes wrong
