yes man

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 photoman
Cause I see I got more chins than
A Chinese phonebook 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?
