Let Your Yeah Be Yeah

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