Default What does this sentense mean?

Hi,

I have a question I hope u don't mind answering it.

My first language is Arabic so please I hope the answer be more clear.


I'll be the yoyo on a string
I must be bopping

This sentence I found it in Jennifer Lopez's song. The song is called "Hold It Don't Drop It"

Another favor please for me.

In general I guess I know what the mean of words of the song but Could anyone tell me what exactly it talking about.

The lyrics of the song is :
Artist: Jennifer Lopez
Album: Brave
Title: Hold It Don't Drop It



You don't know what you're doin'
What you doin' to me
Try to stop me, can't stop me
Cos you know what I need
You got me all open and now you tryin to leave
Hold It, Don't Drop It (Don't Drop It)
Stop it, (can't stop it, won't stop it)

Every time I try to run, something keeps stopping me (stopping me)
I try my best to turn around, but your touch won't let me leave
I can't control it, you put something inside of me
Cos you're a problem
Boy you musta poisened me

You don't know what you're doin'
What you doin' to me
Try to stop me, can't stop me
Cos you know what I need
You got me all open and now you tryin to leave
Hold It, Don't Drop It
Don't Drop It
Stop it, can't stop it
Won't stop it

Oh I must be boppin'
Let you play those things I don't understand
I'll be the yoyo on a string
Goin' down and comin' back to your hands
I make excuses but we keep on rockin' anyway
Ooh, boy it ain't workin'
When I let you go, you make me stay

You don't know what you're doin'
What you doin' to me
Try to stop me, can't stop me
Cos you know what I need
You got me all open and now you tryin to leave
Hold It, Don't Drop It
Don't Drop It
Stop it, can't stop it
Won't stop it

(All right, believe) Yeaaah
(Control) Control
(Of me) Of me
You got what
(I need) I need, yaaay!
(Don't drop it, don't drop it, can't stop me, can't stop me, won't stop me)
Oh, Can't let you go
Can't let you leave
I need your love
Inside of me
You have control
Control of me
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop me, can't stop me, won't stop me

Welcome to the forums.

A yoyo is a toy. It is a round object with a string around its middle; the string is wound round the object, which is then allowed to drop downwards. When is reaches the end of the string it rebounds so that the string winds up again.


This link has many images of yoyos: yoyo - Google Image Search

The song is saying that metaphorically "I" am held and am being played with like a yoyo - that "I" cannot escape, and that "you" control my actions.

There are two uses for "pants" as garments = trousers [both male and female - AmE] or underpants [in the UK]

"panties" are always understood to mean female underpants.
