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
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
