'Cause the truth is always in the way
I never wanna live in fear
I don't wanna hold back all the things I need to say
Say yay
Say yay
I got you figured out, you need to have control
Trying to tell you now, I've been doing what you want
But I won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
Just let me go, just let me go
Won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
Just let me go (just let me go)
Just let me go (just let me go)
Won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
You used to always let me in (you used to always let me in)
Do you even know you changed? (Do you even know you changed?)
And now you're my favorite sin, oh
'Cause I'm either on your side or you're a mile away oh
Oh
I got you figured out, you need to have control
You think that I don't know you, I know you, I know
Trying to tell you now, I've been doing what you want
But I won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
Just let me go, just let me go
Won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
Just let me go (just let me go)
Just let me go (just let me go)
Won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
Woah woah no
I won't do it anymore
I won't do it anymore
I got you figured out, you need to have control
You think that I don't know you, I know you, I know
Trying to tell you now, I've been doing what you want
But I won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
Just let me go (just let me go)
Just let me go (just let me go)
Won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
Just let me go (just let me go)
Just let me go (just let me go)
Won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore
The lyrics of "YES GIRL" by Bea Miller is a declaration of self-empowerment and asserting one's individuality in the face of controlling and manipulative behavior. The opening lines suggest that the singer could tell the other person what they want to hear, but the truth always gets in the way. The singer expresses that they don't want to live in fear and refuse to hold back the things they need to say. This line emphasizes the idea that the singer is done with being a "yes girl," someone who only agrees with everything the other person says.
The chorus emphasizes the point even further, saying that the singer won't be someone who is under someone else's control anymore. The line "I won't be your yes girl, no, not anymore" brings this point home. The singer is done with being controlled by someone else's wants and needs, they want to be themselves and have the freedom to speak their own truth. The bridge, with the repetition of "just let me go," drives home the message that the singer wants to be free from the other person's toxic influence.
In conclusion, "YES GIRL" by Bea Miller is a powerful and self-empowering song that encourages listeners to assert themselves in the face of controlling behavior. The song communicates that it's essential to be mindful of how we allow others to influence our lives.
