Lyrics 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

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

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
