Say Yes Songtext
von Ben Folds

Why didn′t you tell me that I got fat?
It's so easy, I can see it now, I′m looking back
As I empty one more round of smiling photographs
So many things you never mentioned
To me, you didn't think I could listen
Do I come across so weak?
I guess sometimes I am
Now you're so gone, oh
I don′t need a yes man and a song
Oh, why didn′t you tell me about it?
I watch a patch of morning light
As it crept across your bed and it reached your sleepy eyes
And in that time, I'd forgotten why
I couldn′t tell you why I was mad
So I held it in and you kept it back
Every picture that I click and drag, it's obvious


Now, we′re so gone, oh
I don't need a yes man and a song
Oh, why didn′t you tell me about it?
I know
Sometimes
You try to talk to me
And I make a joke with it
I do that sometimes
I know it's gonna hurt
Why didn't you tell me that I got fat?
Now I′m crying all the way from the photoman
Cause I see I got more chins than the Chinese phonebook has
Now, you′re so gone
I don't need a yes man and a song
Oh, why didn′t you tell me about it?
Oh, why didn't you tell me about it?
