"The Wrong Yo Yo" is a song by Gerry and the Pacemakers, a British band from the 1960s. The lyrics illustrate a situation where the singer is comparing a relationship to the metaphor of a yo-yo. In the song, the speaker suggests that their partner has the right intentions or desires, symbolized by the "right string", but they are using the wrong approach or method, represented by the "wrong yo-yo". This could imply that the partner is not treating the singer with the love and care they deserve, causing the speaker to lose their affection for them. The repetition of the lines emphasizes the point that the partner's actions have caused the speaker to fall out of love. The phrase "No need to hang it baby by my door" suggests that the speaker does not want the partner to continue pursuing the relationship. Overall, the song conveys the idea that even though the partner may have good intentions, their actions and behavior have led the speaker to realize that they can no longer love them. The metaphor of the yo-yo symbolizes the ups and downs of the relationship, ultimately leading to its end.
