Yes lyrics
Songwriters: Carter, Shawn; Edwards, Bernard Jr; Knowles, Beyonce;

I said yes to your mama
And yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together
But you gotta wait for me

The first time I said no
It s like I never said yes
(It s like I never say yes)

I said, yes, we can be together
Yes, you can stay with me
But when I say, no, not tonight
You acting so ungratefully

The first time I said no
It s like I never said yes
(It s like I never say yes)

You was on the wall, I was with my crew
You was watching me, baby, I was watching you
Slowly you walked over, I maintained my cool
You said hello to me, I said hello to you

You asked me where I m from, I asked you what you do
You somehow intrigued me, I thought you were so cool
Somewhere between hi and goodbye, I felt so comfortable
I felt like we could talk all night, so I gave my number to you

I said yes to your mama
And yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together
But you gotta wait for me

The first time I said no
It s like I never said yes
(It s like I never say yes)

I said, yes, we can be together
Yes, you can stay with me
But when I say, no, not tonight
You acting so ungratefully

The first time I said no
It s like I never said yes
(It s like I never say yes)

Certainly you can call me, baby, I love to hear from you
Yes, of course, you can come and see me, boy
Wanna get to know you more, sure I m feeling you
No, baby, not yet, we can t take that next step

Why you getting so upset, boy
You act as though I never told you yes before
You are so ungrateful

You was at my house, I was sitting on my couch
You was really bugging so I told you to get out
I have been misjudging you, you had a lot of nerve
You too damn old to be so immature, I hope you learned

You said I move too slow, I showed you to the door
You said you d call me later, I said don t call no more
But it s cool if you can t wait for me, I m glad you let me know
Cuz you showed me your true face, baby, the first time I said no

I said yes to your mama
And yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together
But you gotta wait for me

The first time I said no
It s like I never said yes
(It s like I never say yes)

I said, yes, we can be together
Yes, you can stay with me
But when I say, no, not tonight
You acting so ungratefully

The first time I said no
It s like I never said yes
(It s like I never say yes)

I said yes to your mama
And yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together
But you gotta wait for me

The first time I said no
It s like I never said yes
(It s like I never say yes)
