Sometimes you say, you will
Sometimes you say, you won't
You always keep me waiting
Waiting, hesitating, hating

At times, I think you do
At times, I think you don't
My mind is rollerskating
Skipping, jumping rope then fading

Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way?
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not, I'm going away there

Why can't you be like this?
Why can't you be like that?
I don't know where I am?
Or where, or where I'm at?

So now you got me up
An' now you got me down
You will be walking, you'll be talking
Watch me now, it's crazy

Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way?
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not, I'm going away

Mental hopscotch
Cover your eyes and count to 10
Mental hopscotch
Don't do 'em up till I say when

So now you got me up
And now you got me down
You will be walking, you'll be talking
Watch me now, it's crazy

You don't think twice
About what I might say
I follow you around an' play
An' play, an' play, an' play, an' play

Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way?
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not, I'm going away

Mental hopscotch
Cover your eyes and count to 10
Mental hopscotch
Don't do 'em up till I say when

Mental hopscotch
Do me, dump me, rill me, rock me
Mental hopscotch
Rollerskating, skipping, fading

Mental hopscotch
Mental hopscotch
Mental hopscotch
