Ye Yo
Erykah Badu · Live [1997]
Ye Yo, Ye Yo
Help Me
Ye Yo,Ye Yo
Ye Yo,Ye Yo
Sometimes
Sometimes I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
I feel all by myself up here
Thats when, I take a minute
To re-evaluate things
All of the things I think are special yeah-hah
Ooo like
When you wake up in the morning
And you see the morning sun
And then you need to know the world is on your side
Who do you run to?
Who can you turn to?
Then the evening comes to greet you
You need, you need someone to hold you close
And then you feel the need to rest your aching mine
Who can you run to?
Who can you turn to?
Well see the suns in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest
If you wanna go to heaven lay upon my breast
I'm Ye Ye
Your Ye Ye
I said the suns in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest
if you wanna go to heaven lay upon my breast
I'm Ye Ye
Your Ye Ye (ye ye-eee)
Ye Yo, Ye Yo
Help me
Ye Yo, Ye Yo
Come on yall
Ye Yo, Ye Yo
Ye Yo
