lyrics

Must Be Saying Yes

Verse 1:
Had a bird's eye view from across the bar
Saw a whole lot of maybe's but only one star
oh oh oh
And there she went floating cross the sky
If I didn't' move then 'fraid I'd never try
oh oh oh

Pre-Chorus:
So I brought my A-game, used my best line
Tapped her on the shoulder and her eyes meet mine

I said, "hey, do you wanna dance?"

Chorus:
She's not saying yes but she's not saying no
She's not saying stop but she's not saying go oh
Don't know what she's thinking but I must confess
She's playing it cool and its making me sweat
Yeah….

*If she's not saying no, she must be saying yes

Verse 2:
After that dance was a kiss so fine
A few months later had to make her mine
oh oh oh
So I bought a little ring and I borrowed a car
Drove out of the city to a field of stars
oh oh oh

And I brought my A-game, used my best line
Tapped her on the shoulder and her eyes met mine

Said, "Hey, what do ya say?"

Chorus 2:
She's not saying yes but she's not saying no
She's not saying stop but she's not saying go oh
Don't know what she's thinking but I must confess
She's playing it cool and she's making me sweat
Yeah...

If she's not saying no, she must be saying yes

Instrumental Solo:

Must be saying Yes

Verse 3:
Well that little ring turned into a home
3 babies later now were never alone
oh oh oh

Pre-Chorus:
Between the sleepless nights and the carpet stains
To the ballet lessons and the football games
She asks me, "would you do it all again?"

Chorus 3:
I'm not saying yes but I'm not saying no
I can see ya smiling cause ya already know oh
Oh what I'm thinking so I'll just confess
If I'm not saying no…well, girl you know... I'm saying yes

Outro + Ad libs
I'm saying yes….
for the rest of our lives
to kissing and holding you tight
to every sleepless night
