I’m on a see-saw
You throw me up and you throw me down
I don’t know when I’m here or there
Those dreams that we saw
You took them up and you knocked them down
I don’t whether you even care

First I was heaven-bound
Then I found you turned round
And as I hit the ground
Gee, that ain’t right, you know that

I’m on a see-saw
You throw me up and you throw me down
And altogether you don’t prepare

Oh my, I’m on a see-saw
Oh, you throw me up and you throw me down
Altogether you don’t prepare
