Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You keep telling me yes
But you don't mean it
You keep telling me no
And try to lean it
[PreChorus]
You're giving me buts and maybe
You know this will drive me crazy
Why can't you tell it like it is?
[Chorus]
And let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
[Refrain]
Because I'm on my guard, and I'm watching you from head to toe
So better let your yeah be yeah and your no be no
[Verse 2]
You wear a plastic smile
I know by your eyes
You speak with indefinite style
You're telling me lies
[PreChorus]
You've got to face reality
What is wrong with you and me?
Why can't you free your honesty?
[Chorus]
And let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
[Refrain]
Because I'm on my guard, and I'm watching you from head to toe
So you better let your yeah be yeah and your no be no
[Verse 3]
You keep telling me yes
But you don't mean it
You keep telling me no
And try to lean it
[PreChorus]
You're giving me buts and maybe
You know this will drive me crazy
Why can't you tell it like it is?
[Chorus]
You better let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
[Outro]
Because I'm on my guard, and I'm watching you from head to toe
