Yes

"**Yes**" (en español: "Sí") es una canción grabada por Beyoncé para su álbum debut en solitario *Dangerously in Love* (2003). La canción fue lanzada el 20 de junio de 2003 como séptima pista del álbum, y fue escrita por Beyoncé, Focus... y Jay-Z, mientras que Beyoncé y Focus... la produjeron.

## Composición

"Yes" está escrita en la nota de La mayor, y tiene un tiempo de 113 pulsaciones por minuto. Líricamente, la canción encuentra a Beyoncé detallando su relación con un hombre al que apenas conoció, que ella aceptó darle su número y salir a una cita, pero cuando le dijo "no", él lo tomó muy mal: "Dije sí, podemos estar juntos / Sí, puedes quedarte conmigo / Pero cuando dije no, no esta noche / Actúas tan ingrato / La primera vez que dije 'no' / Es como si nunca dijera 'sí'"

## Presentaciones en vivo

"Yes" fue parte del setlist regular para la gira Dangerously in Love Tour de 2003 de Beyoncé. También formó parte de la gira Verizon Ladies First Tour (2004), coencabezada por Beyoncé, Alicia Keys y Missy Elliott

## Letra

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

I said yes to your number

And yes to you dating me

Yes, we can be together

But you gotta wait for me

The first time I say no

It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

I said yes, we can be together

Yes, you can stay with me

But when I say no, not tonight

You actin' so ungratefully

The first time I say no

It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

You was on the wall

I was with my crew

You was watchin' me, baby

I was watchin' you

Slowly you walked over

I maintained my cool

You said hello to me

I said hello to you

You asked me where I'm from

I asked you what you do

You somehow intrigued me

I thought you were so cool

Somewhere between hi and goodbye, I felt so comfortable

I felt like we could talk all night, so I gave my number to you

I said yes to your number

And yes to you dating me

Yes, we can be together

But you gotta wait for me

The first time I say no

It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

I said yes, we can be together

Yes, you can stay with me

But when I say no, not tonight

You actin' so ungratefully

The first time I say no

It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

Certainly, you can call me, baby

I love to hear from you

Yes, of course, you can come and see me, boy

Wanna get to know you more

Sure, I'm feelin' you

"No, baby, not yet, we can't take that next step"

Why you getting so upset?

Boy, you act as though I never told you yes before

You are so ungrateful, mm-mm-mmm

You was at my house

I was sittin' on my couch

You was really buggin', so I

Told you to get out

I had been misjudging you

You had a lotta nerve

You too damn old to be so immature

I hope you learn

You said I move too slow

I showed you to the door

You said you'd call me later

I said don't call no more

It is cool if you can't wait for me

I'm glad you let me know

'Cause you showed me your true face, baby

The first time I said no

I said yes to your number

And yes to you dating me

Yes, we can be together

But you gotta wait for me

The first time I say no

It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

I said yes, we can be together

Yes, you can stay with me

But when I say no, not tonight

You actin' so ungratefully

The first time I say no

It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)

I said yes to your number

And yes to you dating me

Yes, we can be together

But you gotta wait for me

The first time I say no

It's like I never said yes (It's like I never said yes)
