Charlie Robison - Yellow Blues Lyrics

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Vows have just become outdated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 because 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 you pretty from the rain
But I see right through

Maybe because 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 that wait
So baby don't you hesitate
It's your balloon

Maybe because you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues

Maybe because you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues
