just say yeah

i wanted to be somebody you see

when you're feeling good

i started looking for your little mg

in my neighborhood

i started feeling kind of funny and free

when you were around

and i began to cook up a plan to

take you out of town

not really dating

we were relating

and we were friends

it's hard to say where the relating leaves off

and where loves begins

a friend will tell you all kinds of stuff

that a lover won't

and you would think you would see love coming

but of course

you don't

i want to hold you

don't want to mold you

into someone else

i never could have invented you

or written you so well

i never met another woman who

possessed your particular charms

i want to be that man who will see that

you never come to harm

must have been you i dreamed of

yeah that was you all right

you were the laughter i was listening to

standing in the light

you were the lover in the sunrise who

had begun to slip away

though i was just a kid i must have known

you'd be real someday

i want to know you

i want to show you

that you're not alone

you've been the only thing steadyin' me

and i guess we've both known

maybe you haven't been that ready to see

that i could take you there

well that was then

but this is when

i need to hear you say yeah

baby just say yeah
