If You Say Yes

Somebody said, gotta watch your step, gotta close your eyes, gotta hold your breath
Somebody said if you say yes, where will it lead, where will it lead, where will it lead you?
Somebody said, gotta lock your car, gotta draw the shades,
gotta bolt the door
Somebody said if you say yes...

But that fussy old crow’s on the gutter again
And a tufty little bird’s in the backyard tree
And I’ve worn holes in my blue jeans, down on my knees

Somebody said, if you sing too loud, or you dance too wild,
stick out in a crowd
Somebody said if you say yes...
Somebody said, if you rock the boat, if you climb too high,
if you swim the moat
Somebody said if you say yes...

But I ran outside in the howling rain
And I thought, what have I got to lose
For just a glimpse of some good news I’m down on my knees

Somebody said, don’t act too smart, don’t start to cry, don’t fall apart
Somebody said if you say yes...
Somebody said, you aren’t enough; too soft and sweet,
gotta just get tough
Somebody said if you say yes...

But I hear the beat of the strongest heart
And I would walk a thousand miles
For just the moment of your smile, I’m down on my knees

Somebody said, you’re so naive to hope so hard, to just believe
Somebody said if you say yes...
Somebody said, it’ll stay the same, it’s always been, it’ll never change
Somebody said if you say yes...

But there’s you now, a million strong
And your voice there, a billion votes
For just the smallest speck of hope I’m down on my knees

Somebody said gotta watch your step, somebody said, gotta just get tough (comma?)
Somebody said if you sing too loud, or you rock the boat, or you aren’t enough
Somebody said if you say yes...
