Yes Man

The other day, we were in the yard
We had a fight and you put up your guard
You said your piece and the way it should be
I could at ease, but that ain't me

You know that I'm a man that speaks my mind
A little rough here and there is fine
But lately we've been going round and round
Feels like you always want the high ground

I'm getting tired, so can you be
Straight with me?

Is there something that you want me to say?
Are you trying to make me see it your way?
'Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love? Do you want my love?

Or do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?

It's always easier to agree
But would you lay down if you were me?
Can you respect it when I speak my mind?
'Cause true conviction is hard to find

It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
Admitting either way is just as strong
Eating words can be food for the soul
Digging your heels would put you deep in a hole

I'm getting tired, so can you be
Straight with me?

Is there something that you want me to say?
Are you trying to make me see it your way?
'Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love? Do you want my love?

Or do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?

I got a mind and it's all my own
I hope they write it on my headstone
Here lies a man that said what he meant
Heart of gold and a head of cement

I'm getting tired, so can you be
Straight with me?

Is there something that you want me to say?
Are you trying to make me see it your way?
'Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love? Is there something that you want me to say?

Are you trying to make me see it your way?
'Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love? Do you want my love?
Do you want my love? Do you want my love?

Or do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?

Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Oh, I'm not your yes man
