You Yes You Lyrics

Now that everything is gunna be okay
Now that everything is gunna be alright
What if baby I cannot see the sound?
What if baby I cannot hear the light?

Now that everything is gunna be okay
Now that everything is gunna be alright
What if baby I cannot see the sound?
What if baby I cannot hear the light?

What’s that about?
What’s that about?

What’s that about?
What’s that about?

Now that everything is gunna be okay
Now that everything is gunna be alright
What if baby I cannot see the sound?
What if baby I cannot hear the light?

Now that everything is gunna be okay
Now that everything is gunna be alright
What if baby I cannot see the sound?
What if baby I cannot hear the light?

I was born to do it
My daddy had enough so I put my back into it
That man was born to do it too
We didn’t have enough so we cannot sing for you--HA!

If home is where the heart is baby
Then my home is inside you
I don’t need a linen room of diamonds
Yeah a chicken shed will do

If home is where the heart is baby
Then my home is inside you
I don’t need a linen room of diamonds
Yeah a chicken shed will do do do do

I was born to do it
My daddy had enough so I put my back into it
That man was born to do it too
We didn’t have enough so we can-ahhhh!
I was born to do it
My daddy had enough so I put my back in--
Th-th-that man was born to do it too
We didn’t have enough so we cannot sing for you--HA!

Throw your money on the ground and leave it there
You, yes, you

Now that everything is gunna be okay

(In the morning we see some trees. All goodnight to you.)

"If home is where the heart is baby Then my home is inside you"

Such a great lyric.

"I don't need a linen room of diamonds a chicken shed would do."

My goodness I love that line. We could live in absolute squalor, but as long as I was with you, I wouldn't mind. Beautiful. Ms. Garbus is amazingly talented.

WOW

I think the lyrics actually go:

"I was born to do it My daddy had enough so I put my back into it That man was born to do it too He didn’t have enough so he cannot sing for you"

Which makes more sense to me. It's about how some people come from backgrounds where they are privileged enough pursue their dreams (in this case singing) but some people don't have that as an option. Even if they were born with the talent and the potential.
