Yes
Beyonce' Knowles Lyrics

I said yes to your number and yes to you datin' me
I agreed to give you my number and date you.

Yes we can be together but you gotta wait for me
We can be in a relationship, but you need to be patient.

The first time I say no, it's like I never said yes (it's like I never said yes)
If I say no once, it's as if I never said yes before.

I said, "yes, we can be together, yes, you can stay with me"
I said we can be in a relationship and you can stay with me.

But when I say, "no, not tonight," you actin' so ungratefully
When I say no to intimacy, you become unappreciative.

You was on the wall
You were leaning against the wall.

I was with my crew
I was with my group of friends.

You was watchin' me baby
You were looking at me, honey.

I was watchin' you
I was observing you.

Slowly you walked over
You approached me slowly.

I maintained my cool
I remained calm and collected.

You asked me where I'm from
You inquired about the place I come from.

I ask you what you do
I asked you about your profession.

You somehow intrigued me
You sparked an interest in me in some way.

I thought you were so cool
I found you to be very exciting.

Somewhere between hi and goodbye
At some point between greeting and parting ways.

I felt so comfortable
I felt at ease and relaxed.

So I gave my number to you
So I provided you with my phone number.

Certainly you can call me baby
Of course, you can call me, darling.

I love to hear from you
I enjoy receiving communication from you.

Yes of course you can come and see me boy
Absolutely, you can come and visit me, my dear.

I wanna get to know you more, sure I'm feelin' you
I want to become more familiar with you because I'm interested.

No baby, not yet, we can't take that next step
No, my love, we can't become intimate yet.

Why you gettin' so upset? Boy you
Why are you becoming so angry?

Act as though I never told you yes before
You're behaving as if I never consented before.

You are so ungrateful, mmm, mmm, mmm
You're not showing appreciation for my boundaries.

You was at my house
You were inside my home.

I was sittin on my couch
I was seated on my couch.

You was really buggin' so I
You were really bothering me, so I

Told you to get out
Instructed you to leave my home.

I had been misjudging you
I had been mistaken in my impression of you.

You had a lotta nerve, you
You were very bold.

Too damn old to be so immature, I hope you learn
You're too old to be acting so childish, I hope you improve.

You said I move too slow
You stated that I am progressing too slowly.

I showed you to the door
I escorted you out of my home.

You said you'd call me later
You said you would contact me at another time.

I said, "don't call no more"
I instructed you not to call me anymore.

It is cool if you can't wait for me
It's okay if you can't be patient for me.

I'm glad you let me know
I appreciate that you communicated your feelings with me.

'Cause you show me your true face baby
Because you revealed your true behavior to me, darling.

The first time I said no
The initial time I denied your advances.

It's like I never said yes
It seems as if I never agreed to anything in the first place.
