Lyrics for Yes Man

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?
