Keep Me Hangin' On
Jypsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems that's where I belong.
You know how to hold me, thrill me, and control me;
Just enough to keep me hangin' on, on, just enough to keep me hangin' on.
My heart is like a yo-yo on a string,
I'm tied to you, right or wrong.
My love keeps growing cause your love keeps showing,
A love as strong as mine will make me do most anything,
like hiding tears and heartaches and dreaming silly dreams.
You've got me where you want me, you keep stringing me along,
just enough to keep me hangin' on.
You've got me where you want me,
you keep stringing me along, just enough to keep me hangin' on.
The lyrics to Jypsi's song "Keep Me Hangin' On" reflect the feelings of a person who is completely in love with someone else, but their love is not reciprocated to the same extent. The first two lines of the song "It's true, you have me twisted around your finger; It seems that's where I belong" convey the idea that the person is completely under the influence of their love interest. They are so in love with this person that they feel like they belong to them entirely.
The next lines "You know how to hold me, thrill me, and control me; Just enough to keep me hangin' on, on, just enough to keep me hangin' on" describe how their love interest has a hold on them. The person is both thrilled and controlled by them. The phrase "just enough to keep me hangin' on" indicates that the person is not entirely sure of their love interest's feelings towards them, but they keep holding onto hope that they will reciprocate their love.
In the following lines, "My heart is like a yo-yo on a string, I'm tied to you, right or wrong. My love keeps growing cause your love keeps showing, Just enough to keep me hangin' on" the person is trying to describe their feelings. They feel like their heart is constantly moving back and forth between the hope that their love interest will love them back and the despair of being unfulfilled. They feel tied to their love interest, but not in a positive way. Their love keeps growing because their love interest sometimes shows a hint of love towards them. However, at the end of the day, it is just enough to keep them hanging on.
The chorus of "Keep Me Hangin' On" repeats the same theme. The person feels that their love is so strong that they will do almost anything for their love interest, no matter how much it hurts. They pretend not to cry and dream of a happy ending that may never come.
