You're yes then you're no 
You're in then you're out 
You're up  you're down 
You're wrong when it's right 
It's black and it's white 
We fight, we break up 
We kiss, we make up 
You don't really  stay

'Cause you're hot then you're cold 
You're yes  you're no 
You're in then you're out 
You're up then you're down
