Lyrics Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne

Just Say Yeah

I wanted to be somebody you 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

And 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 haven't been 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
