"If The Answer Is Yeah" lyrics - THE WATERBOYS

Can you tell me the truth without softening its punch
And stick with me baby when push comes to crunch
Can you shake your bones to a number or two
And remember that the world don't revolve about you
Can you live with a man without becoming his mother
Do you need a dedicated full-time lover

If the answer is no, no, no, Sayonara dear
But if the answer is yeah, yeah, yeah, come right over here

Do you find 30 Rock and Frasier funny
Are you proof against fashion, can you take or leave money
Do you love cashmere worn close to your skin
If I knock on your heart will your heart let me in
Do you own your own shadow, do you make your own light
Would you like to cuddle down with me tonight

If the answer is no, no, no, sayonara dear
But if the answer is yeah, yeah, yeah, come right over here

I don't mind if you don't have a clue
Who played sax on Memphis Soul Stew
I don't care if you don't know
Who tried to pull sister Flo

Can you lead when you need to, yet sometimes be led
Can you tell me the last six books you read
Can you reach for the stars while you stand in the dirt
Wear a motorcycle jacket with a long black skirt
Meet success and failure with a peal of laughter
And live elegantly ever after
Go the extra mile, do it all in style
And take a tumble with me for a while

If the answer is no, no, no, sayonara dear
But if the answer is yeah, yeah, yeah, come right over here
If the answer is yeah, yeah, yeah, come right over here
If the answer is yeah, yeah, yeah
