Yayo (A.K.A. Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I like the snake on your tattoo
I like the ivy and the ink blue
Yayo, yeah, you, yayo
You have to take me right now from this dark trailer park life now
Yayo, how now, yayo

[Chorus]
Put me onto your black motorcycle
'50s baby doll dress for my "I do"
It only take two hours to Nevada
I wear your sparkle, you call me your mama
Let me put on a show for you, daddy
Let me put on a show
Let me put on a show for you, tiger
Let me put on a show

[Verse 2]
I need you like a baby when I hold you
Like a druggie, like I told you
Yayo, yeah, you, yayo

[Chorus]
Put me onto your black motorcycle
Fifty baby doll dress for my "I do"
It only take two hours to Nevada
I wear your sparkle, you call me your mama
Let me put on a show for you, daddy
Let me put on a show
Let me put on a show for you, tiger
Let me put on a show
[Bridge]
Hello, heaven, you are a tunnel lined with yellow lights
On a dark night (Dark night)
Yayo, yeah, you
Yayo

[Chorus]
Put me onto your black motorcycle
Fifty baby doll dress for my "I do"
It only take two hours to Nevada
I wear your sparkle, you call me your mama
Let me put on a show for you, daddy
Let me put on a show, yeah
Let me put on a show for you, tiger
Let me put on a show
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
