From Dangerously in Love2003

Lyrics

Yes

Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh

I said yes to your number And yes to you dating me Yes, we can be together But you gotta wait for me The first time I say no It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

I said, yes, we can be together Yes, you can stay with me But when I say, no, not tonight You acting so ungratefully The first time I say no It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

You was on the wall, I was with my crew You was watching me, baby, I was watching you Slowly you walked over, I maintained my cool You said hello to me, I said hello to you

You asked me where I'm from, I asked you what you do You somehow intrigued me, I thought you were so cool Somewhere between hi and goodbye, I felt so comfortable I felt like we could talk all night, so I gave my number to you

I said yes to your number And yes to you dating me Yes, we can be together But you gotta wait for me The first time I say no It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

I said, yes, we can be together Yes, you can stay with me But when I say, no, not tonight You acting so ungratefully The first time I say no It's like I never said yes (It's like I never say yes)

Certainly you can call me, baby, I love to hear from you Yes, of course, you can come and see me, boy I wanna get to know you more, sure, I'm feelin' you No, baby, not yet, we can't take that next step Why you getting so upset, boy You act as though I never told you yes before You are so ungrateful, mmm, mmm

You was at my house, I was sittin' on my couch You was really buggin' so I told you to get out I have been misjudgin' you, you had a lot of nerve You too damn old to be so immature, I hope you learned

You said I move too slow, I showed you to the door You said you'd call me later, I said don't call no more It's cool if you can't wait for me, I'm glad you let me know 'Cause you showed me your true face, baby, the first time I said no

How Marika Hackman turned lockdown writer’s block into ‘Covers’

Released in November 2020, Marika Hackman’s ‘Covers’ found a route around the blank page: ten songs she already knew well, rebuilt at home with a drum machine, sparse production and room for experimentation.

Is The Itch’s ‘No More Sprechgesang’ a diss track or a love letter?

Simon Tyrie wrote the title in earnest at a bad gig. By the time it became one of The Itch’s defining live tracks, the joke had acquired rather more feeling.

Can musicians stop political campaigns using their songs? Licensing and endorsement explained

A song at a rally can be licensed without carrying an artist’s approval. Here’s why campaign events, adverts and social posts can raise different questions.

Beyoncé’s ‘B’Day’ has reached Number One on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart

The 20th-anniversary deluxe edition has returned Beyoncé’s 2006 album to the top, while ‘Morning Dew (Donk)’ claims an airplay record.
