Yes Man

The other day we were in the yard
We had a fight and you put up your guard
You said your peace and the way it should be
I could've pleased but that ain't me
You know that I'm a man that speaks my mind
A little rough here and there is fine
But lately we've been goin' round and round
Feels like you always want the higher ground
I'm getting tired so can you be straight with me

Is there something that you want me to say
Are you trying to make me see it your way
Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love?
Do you want my love?
Or do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?

Its always easier to agree
But would you lay down if you were me
Can you respect it when I speak my mind
Cause true conviction is hard to find
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
Admitting either way is just as strong
Eating words can be food for the soul
Digging your heels will put you deep in a hole
I'm getting tired so can you be straight with me

Is there something that you want me to say
Are you trying to make me see it your way
Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love?
Do you want my love?
Or do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?

I gotta mind and it's all my own
I hope they write it on my headstone
Here lies a man that said what he meant
A heart of gold and a head of cement

I'm getting tired so can you be straight with me

Is there something that you want me to say
Are you trying to make me see it your way
Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love?

Is there something that you want me to say
Are you trying to make me see it your way
Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love? [Repeat 4x]
Or do you want a yes man
Do you want a yes man
Do you want a yes man
Do you want a yes man
