[Intro]
Say yes, say yes, my baby
Maybe one day, I'll call you 'round
When I'm not so upside-down
Baby, ba-baby
Baby, ba-baby

[Chorus]
This is an ode for you, baby
Please sing with me, too, baby
This is an ode for you, my boy
This is an ode for joy 'cause there's no joy
Can we talk it through like adults?
Adults seem to do things that work
Better than we've done these deeds
I'd like to still grow up with you, please
Hope you're somewhere safe, baby
So I can safely say that, maybe
You'll be on your way back soon
Say it's true 'cause you know I love you

[Outro]
My boy, my boy, ba-baby
My boy, my boy, ba-baby
Better off inside (Baby, ba-baby)
I love you
Better off inside (Baby, ba-baby)
I love you
Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes
When I'm not so upside-down
