Let Your Yeah Be Yeah

Jimmy Cliff

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
