Yes Man lyrics - Ben Folds

Why didn't you tell me that

I got fat?

It's so easy I could see it now looking back

As I empty one more round of smiling photographs

So many things you never mentioned to me

You didn't think I could listen

Do I come across so weak?

I guess sometimes I am

Now you're so gone

Oh, I don't need a yes man and a song

Oh, why didn't you tell me 'bout it?

I watched a patch of morning light

As it crept across the bed and it reached your sleepy eyes

And in that time, I'd forgotten why

I couldn't tell you why I was mad

So I held it in and you kept it back

Every picture that I click

And drag

It's obvious

Now we're so gone

Oh, I don't need a yes man and a song

Oh, why didn't you tell me 'bout it?

I know, sometimes you try to talk to me

And I make a joke of it

I do that sometimes

I know it's gonna hurt

Why didn't you tell me that I got fat?

Now I'm crying all the way from the photomat

'Cause I see I got more chins than

A Chinese phone book has

Now you're so gone

Oh, I don't need a yes man and a song

Oh, why didn't you tell me 'bout it?

Oh, why didn't you tell me 'bout it?
