In my mind I'm like a kid in the corner Where I argue with the devil 'til I've had my fill When I start to believe all the lies that you're tellin' me Sayin' I'll never make it, I say, 'Yes I will' Just like a bad tune stuck in your head forever Over and over like the run of the mill And with every chance that I have to do somethin' good Here we go: 'no you won't', 'yes I will' I said wait! (Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will Yes I am , yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will) Just a minute, said, yes I will! (Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will Yes I am , yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will) Oh, and I said wait! (Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will Yes I am , yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will) (scat singing) (Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will Yes I am , yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will) Said, yes I will (Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will Yes I am , yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will Yes I am , yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will) With the war of words begun And the battle for the mind is on And, no you won't, yes I will With the war of words begun The battle rages on and on No you won't, yes I will Game over, you find no one to help, he says With bound determination you say, yes I will You, you better pray cause you know what he's gonna say Just keep repeatin', you say (Oh yeah, yes I will!) Wear it out, say it clear, keep it up And if there is any doubt, a little louder, you say Yes I will He says you're nothing special You got nothin' to offer Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will I said wait! (Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will Yes I am , yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will) I said, yes I will!
