Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes you love me like a good man oughta
Sometimes you hurt me so bad, my tears run like water
You get me out right before your friends
And then you disown me, baby, until we're alone again
[Chorus]
Your love is like a see-saw
Your love is like a see-saw, baby
Your love is like a see-saw
Going up and down (Up, down)
All around like a see-saw
[Verse 2]
Sometimes you tell me you're gon' be my sweet candy man
And then sometimes, baby, I never know where I stand
You lift me up when I'm on the ground
But as soon as I get up, child, you send me tumbling down
[Chorus]
Now, your love is like a see-saw
Your love is like a see-saw, baby
Your love is like a see-saw
Going up, down (Up, down)
All around, just like a see-saw
[Bridge]
When I kiss you and I like it
And I ask you to kiss me again
When I reach for you, you've jumped clean out of sight
You change just like the wind
That ain't right, that ain't right
That ain't right, that ain't right, baby
[Chorus]
Your love is like a see-saw
Your love is like a see-saw, baby
Your love is like a see-saw
Going up, oh, down (Up, down)
Yeah, all around, it's like a see-saw
[Chorus]
Your love is like a see-saw
Your love is like a see-saw, baby
Your love is like a see-saw
Going up and down (Up, down)
All around, it's like a see-saw, yeah
