Kids they say the darnedest things They can make you laugh
They can make you scream They make me want to be a better man.
Yes Yes Yes Yes
Johnny, he done lost his toy He gave it to another boy
And I asked him, 'Johnny why did you do that''

He said, 'That kid he asked me if he could use it'' I said, 'Yeah, you can. If you don't lose it!'
So, he took my toy and I never saw it again.

Well I hope that you have lots of luck 'Cause that was my favorite toy That was my toy truck
I should have told you 'no', but I told you 'yes'.
Yes'

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes

Well I've never been the givin' kind But the more I watch this child of mine
The more that I begin to understand. That it's easier to just say 'no'
But it ain't no fun to play alone And the more I say 'I can't', the less I can.

Johnny he turned seventeen And he found the truck of every young man's dream
I should have told him 'no' but I told him 'yes'.
Yes'
