The Commodores' ballad Say Yeah is from their 1978 Grammy nominated album Natural High. The song is written by Lionel Richie and Ronald LaPraed.
Let me love you until I can't love you no more
Let me hold you. Oooh
I've got so much love in store
I've been loving you, baby, oooh, sweet thing
For such a long time. Yes I have
And I need to belong to somebody just like you, baby
I wanna be your only man
All you gotta do is say yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Be my lady, yeah. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Just say yeah, yeah. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) Oh, baby
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah
Precious lady, I-I want no one else but you
Please look my way. Oh, baby
I'll do anything you want me to
I've got more than a feeling. Oooh, baby
I've got my life to share
If you just reach out your arms and hold me, baby
I'll show you how much I care
Oh, honey, say...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Be my lady, yeah, yeah. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
'Cause I love you, sugar. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Oooh, oooh, oooh
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) Oh, baby
Just say yeah, yeah
Shoo, shoo, shoo, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Shoo, shoo, shoo, oooh, oooh
Shoo, shoo, shoo, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Shoo, shoo, shoo, oooh, oooh
I'm the one who loves you, baby
And you're the one and only love I ever need
Take my heart, I'm yours, girl
So deep in your love, where I wanna be
Oh, honey. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Just be my lady, my lady. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
I'll be so good to you. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Oh, baby
I want you right by my side. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
I've been waiting so long, (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Oooh, just to have your sweet love
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) Yeah, baby
Girl, you see, I'll do anything that you want me to do
Just as long as you make it me and you
Just say yeah, baby
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Oh, honey, just be my lady
(Baby, baby, say yeah.) Oooh, oooh, oooh
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) Oh, baby
Girl, I love you so much
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.) Say yeah
Hey, you sweet thing
Don't you know the love I have for you
Stop your playing
Why don't you come on, girl, and let's get on with it
Say yeah. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
