Something has to come out
Is it words, is it notes?
Must it come from my mouth?
Is it pen? Is it blood? Is it ink?
Must it be what I think?

Its my guts, its my all
There I am, I can't tell one more story
Four score, and then, and then
Once upon an old time,
And then do it again.
And then do it again.

Let your No be No,
And your Yes be Yes,
My No means No,
My Yes means Yes. (Yes, yes, yes...)

Yes... yes...

Something has to come out
Is it words, is it notes?
Must it come from my mouth?
I must speak, I must move, I must sing,
It's a compulsive thing.
Is it fear? Is it deep down beneath?
I have something to say
Some trash amongst some golden things
Is it diamond for you?
And illumine my mind, And illumine my mind

Let your No be No
And your Yes be Yes
My No means No
My Yes means Yes (Yes, yes, yes...)

Yes... yes...

So the story goes...
Bite down until it hurts.
In shout of fashion diamonds out of dirt
So the story goes...
The truth must be told.
It's holding my mouth, I cannot feel it any way

Let your No be No
And your Yes be Yes
My No means No
My Yes means Yes (Yes, yes, yes...)

Yes... yes... yes...

And so the story goes
Bite down until it hurts
In a shout of passion
Diamonds out of dirt
And so the story goes
The truth must be told

And it's caught in my mouth,
(distorted words)
I can't handle the pressure, diamonds.
I can't handle the pressure, diamonds.
I can't handle the pressure, diamonds.
Yes... yes, yes, yes...
Yes.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
