Charlie Robison Yellow Blues lyrics

Make or break, don't cause a quake
You don't want no one to awake
And take their cue

Well, promises are overrated
Vows have just become outdated
Ain't it true?

Well, find yourself an easy way
Nobody's gonna make you stay
And see it through

Maybe 'cause you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues

Well, find a clown and watch him drown
The one that never had a frown
There ain't no glue

To make him smile to all your friends
And help him redefine your sins
And get a clue

Wrap yourself in cellophane
To keep your pretty from the rain
But I see right through


Maybe 'cause you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues

I guess you'll get another chance
To make the ones you need to dance
To different tunes

And you'll find a way to lose the day
That's gonna, gonna come your way
They'll get you soon

Bad things they come to those who wait
So baby, don't you hesitate
It's your balloon

Maybe 'cause you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues

Maybe 'cause you're yella
Maybe that's the reason
That I got the blues
