You've got the right string, baby
But the wrong yo-yo

Somebody knocking on your door
Well, I passed this morning
By the hardware store
A brand new string for my yo-yo

Walked down to the doctor
To get my string put on
He made a mistake
Put the string on wrong

No need in knocking
On nobody's door
Oh, the right string, baby
But the wrong yo-yo

Mama told me
Papa did too
Some of these women
Gonna be the death of you

You better find out
Wait til you crave some
Some of these women
Will take you to your grave

But when you see me coming
Put your man outdoors
I ain't no stranger
I been here before

No need in knocking
On nobody's door
You got the right string, baby
But the wrong yo-yo

Right string, baby
But the wrong yo-yo
Somebody knocking on your door
Passed this morning by
The hardware store
A brand new string for my yo-yo

Walked down to the doctor
To get my string put on
He made a mistake
Put the string on wrong

No need in knocking
On nobody's door
Oh, the right string, baby
But the wrong yo-yo
