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Vows have just become outdated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
