Yes, Please

Verse 1 Saw you at the coffee shop, Tuesday at nine

I asked for your name, you said, "I’m doing fine"

I asked for a seat, you pointed to the door

I’d never been shot down so fast before

But I like the way your eyes light up when you're annoyed

You’re a beautiful pattern I can’t avoid.

Pre-Chorus

Monday was a "maybe later"

Tuesday was a "don't you dare"

Wednesday you didn't even look

But I was already caught on the hook.

Chorus

You were a "No" in the morning, a "Never" at night

A "Not in a million years, get out of my sight"

I was walking on a wire, just waiting for the breeze

To turn a "No thank you" into a "Yes, please"

Yeah, you kept me waiting, you kept me on my toes

Until that one sweet word brought an end to the "No's."

Verse 2 Friday night, I saw you walking in the rain

I offered my umbrella, you said, "Don't be a pain"

I told a stupid joke just to see if you’d crack

You rolled your eyes, but you didn't look back

Then I saw the corner of your mouth start to bend

And I knew the "Go away" was coming to an end.

Chorus

You were a "No" in the morning, a "Never" at night

A "Not in a million years, get out of my sight"

I was walking on a wire, just waiting for the breeze

To turn a "No thank you" into a "Yes, please"

Yeah, you kept me waiting, you kept me on my toes

Until that one sweet word brought an end to the "No's."

Verse 3 Saturday morning, I was ready to quit

Thinking maybe I’d finally reached the end of it

I saw you on the corner, I just waved a goodbye

But you stopped in your tracks and you looked in my eye

I didn't even ask, I didn't say a word

Then you said the only thing I hadn't already heard.

Bridge

Persistence is a rhythm, patience is a song

I knew that I was right even when you said I’m wrong

I stopped asking questions, I just stood my ground

And that’s when the silence made the sweetest sound.

Chorus

You were a "No" in the morning, a "Never" at night

A "Not in a million years, get out of my sight"

I was walking on a wire, just waiting for the breeze

To turn a "No thank you" into a "Yes, please"

Yeah, you kept me waiting, you kept me on my toes

Until that one sweet word brought an end to the "No's."

Outro

Finally a "Yes"

Took a hundred tries, I guess

But baby, "Yes" sounds so much better

Now we're finally together

Yeah, she finally said yes.
