Song du Jour, “Yo Yo”

Here is finally the latest installment of Song du Jour, where I write a new song every week. Had some breaks here and there but hopefully I’m back on track now. Enjoy!

“Yo Yo” by Nate Shelkey
It’s only lies
That there’s too much time
You can criticize
But it’s not your life

Just a moment now
They’re not ready for you yet
Is your name not on that list?
You begin to suspect

I never knew(never knew) you could be that way(yeah be that way)
Why couldn’t you be that way(be that way) to me?
I just thought(just thought) that you could change
You just couldn’t change for me

And everybody’s… “Oh no!
She’s moving too fast”
Her mind’s on the brakes
Your hearts on the gas

Take a walk with me
Walk this yoyo’s tangled string
String this guy along with me
The long way back to see

I never knew(never knew) you could be that way(yeah be that way)
Why couldn’t you be that way(be that way) to me?
I just thought(just thought) that you could change
You just couldn’t change for me

And everybody’s… “Oh no!
She’s moving too fast”
Her mind’s on the brakes
Your hearts on the gas

I never knew(never knew) you could be that way(yeah be that way)
Why couldn’t you be that way(be that way) to me?
