Just Say Yeah

Jackson Browne · Time Conqueror [2008]

I wanted to be somebody you'd see

When you're feeling good

I started looking for your little MG

In my neighborhood



I started feeling kind of funny and free

When you were around

And I began to cook up a plan to

Take you out of town



Not really dating, we were relating

We were friends

It's hard to say where the relating leaves off

And where loves begins



A friend will tell you all kinds of stuff

That a lover won't

And you would think you would see love coming

But of course, you don't



I want to hold you, don't want to mold you

Into someone else

I never could have invented you

Or written you so well



I never met another woman who

Possessed your particular charms

I want to be that man who will see that

You never come to harm



Must have been you I dreamed of

Yeah, that was you all right

You were the laughter, I was listening to

Standing in the light



You were the lover in the sunrise

Who had begun to slip away

Though I was just a kid

I must have known you'd be real someday



I want to know you, I want to show you

That you're not alone

You've been the only thing steadyin' me

And I guess we've both known



Maybe you never were that ready to see

That I could take you there

Well, that was then but this is when

I need to hear you say, yeah

Baby, just say, yeah

Baby, just say, yeah



Yeah, yeah, baby

Just say, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby

Baby, just say, yeah
