Make or break, don't cause a quake
You don't want no one to awake
And take their cue
Well, promises are overrated
Vows have just become outdated
Ain't it true?
Well, find yourself an easy way
Nobody's gonna make you stay
And see it through
Maybe 'cause you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues
Well, find a clown and watch him drown
The one that never had a frown
There ain't no glue
To make him smile to all your friends
And help him redefine your sins
And get a clue
Wrap yourself in cellophane
To keep your pretty from the rain
But I see right through
Maybe 'cause you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues
I guess you'll get another chance
To make the ones you need to dance
To different tunes
And you'll find a way to lose the day
That's gonna, gonna come your way
They'll get you soon
Bad things they come to those who wait
So baby, don't you hesitate
It's your balloon
Maybe 'cause you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues
Maybe 'cause you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues
