Yes Be Yes

Liner Notes
Lyrics
In this life, there's many you cannot trust, Like an old car covered up in rust. Never knowing, never showing, What's beneath the paint that's slowly going. Are you rusty, are you trusty? Can somebody count on you? Will you be a man of your word, Or will your promises fall through?
When the moment comes to stand your ground, Will your words still hold when no one's around?
Let your yes be yes, and your no be no, Don't leave me wondering which way you'll go. No more wishy-washy, standing on the fence, Make up your mind—let your life make sense! Let your yes be yes, and your no be no, Be the kind of person people come to know. No more wishy-washy, back and forth you go— Let your yes be yes, and your no be no!
A married man, can't you see? A faithful man is what you can be. Don't just talk it—live it, live it, Give your heart and faithfully give it. Winter, spring, summer, and fall, Be the same kind of man through it all. When times get hard, don't run away, Stand by your word every single day.
Character isn't what you say you'll do, It's what people see when they're looking at you.
Let your yes be yes, and your no be no, Don't leave me wondering which way you'll go. No more wishy-washy, standing on the fence, Make up your mind—let your life make sense! Let your yes be yes, and your no be no, Be the kind of person people come to know. No more wishy-washy, back and forth you go— Let your yes be yes, and your no be no!
Rust can hide beneath a brand-new shine, But truth comes out with the passing of time. You can fool the world for a little while, But a faithful heart will always show its style. So don't just promise—prove it's true, Let your actions speak louder than you do!
Let your yes be yes! Let your no be no! No more wishy-washy Everybody knows! Let your yes be yes! Let your no be no! Stand upon your word wherever you go!
Winter, spring, summer, fall— Be a man they can trust through it all. Let your yes... be yes... And your no... be no!

Quality rhythmic lyrics here. I could hear the tune in my head - but I can't play it, sorry.
I really like the message in these lyrics. People DO need to be more genuine! You are absolutely correct.
Here's hoping this can get music-ified at some point. 😀
Thanks for the kind words.
This is a really cool lyric! Oh that this message will reach many men
Thanks.
This was nice. It feels like it could go in a couple different musical genres and provided that it was played with sincerity it would work well.
Thanks for taking time to read
Good life advice, and these cool lyrics deserve some suitable music.
