YES
Sam Feldt feat. Akon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your body's tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes
Your eyes are tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes

Don't give it to me easy, make me work a little (oh woah woah woah woah)
We move aside, aside and you work the middle (oh woah woah woah woah)
That was one word to describe your ways
It's a Coca Cola bottle shape
I'm a teapot, come on, blow the kettle

I see the trouble that you're trying to make
I see you're doing what your lips won't say
Baby, I ain't gettin' in your way, in your way

Your body's tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes
Your eyes are tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes
So you don't have to say words to me
No, you don't have to say
Your body's tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes

If you say you can't do it then you better do it (oh woah woah woah woah)
'Cause I'ma take your word, I'ma hold you to it (oh woah woah woah woah)
Soon as you start steppin' in the place
You put all of 'em other girls to shame
Now I already know who I'm leavin' with

I see the trouble that you're trying to make
I see you're doing what your lips won't say
Baby, I ain't gettin' in your way, in your way

Your body's tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes
Your eyes are tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes
So you don't have to say words to me
No, you don't have to say
Your body's tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes

I see the trouble that you're trying to make
I see you're doing what your lips won't say
Baby, I ain't gettin' in your way, in your way

Your body's tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes
Your eyes are tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes
So you don't have to say words to me
No, you don't have to say
Your body's tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes

Tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes
Your eyes are tellin' me yes, tellin' me yes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sam Feldt feat. Akon's song "YES" express the strong physical attraction that the singer feels for a woman. Her body and eyes are telling him that she wants him, without her having to say anything. This creates a playful dynamic where the singer is willing to work for her attention and affection, but at the same time he understands that she is in control of the situation.

The lyrics also suggest that the woman is aware of her power over the singer and is playing hard to get. However, the singer is confident he will be the one leaving with her. The repetitiveness of the chorus reinforces the idea of nonverbal communication between the two protagonists, and how their bodies are expressing what words cannot.

Overall, the song paints a picture of two people engaged in a physical and playful relationship, where words are not needed to communicate desire.
