Yellow – Tyra Chantey
Yellow Lyrics
(Verse 1)
You did prey on my weakness
Satisfying you while I keep bleeding
I don’t know why you act like you’re innocent
You wanna take a piece of my heart again
I give to ya, cuz I just don’t know
(Pre-Chorus)
Something’s in your eyes the way you steer me that I like
Wanna let you go but it’s like something holds me tied
You might break my heart tonight but I’m gon’ hold it tight
Oh it feels like, feels like
(Chorus)
Yellow, yellow
It hurts like yellow
Yellow, yellow
You have to let me go
Yellow, yellow
It hurts like yellow
We tried too many times (Ah)
(Verse 2)
You misbehavin’
You must not know me (Uh)
You make me crazy
Kinda like Johnny
Tonzija mombera, mombera
Makin’ me lose my mind
Lose my mind
Cuz I just don’t know
(Pre-Chorus)
Something’s in your eyes the way you steer me that I like
Wanna let you go but it’s like something holds me tied (Something holds me tied)
You might break my heart tonight but I’m gon’ hold it tight
Oh it feels like, feels like
(Chorus)
Yellow, yellow
It hurts like yellow
Yellow, yellow
You have to let me go
Yellow, yellow
It hurts like yellow
We tried too many times
(Bridge)
Ooh you got me feeling cool
Ooh you got me feeling blue
Something ’bout you so see through (Ah)
Something just ain’t right ’bout you yeah
Yea yea, cannot do you like I
You like I cannot do you like I
(Chorus)
Yellow, yellow
It hurts like yellow
Yellow, yellow
You have to let me go
Heartbreaks and heartaches
We tried too many times
Heartbreaks and heartaches
We tried too many times
(Outro)
You cannot do you like I (Whoa)
Wonder why (Oh whoa)
You want me to play, was I
Like all the time
Want that have all night
Tellin’ me that, maybe stop tellin’ me guys
Ahh
About “Yellow”
“Yellow” is a song written and performed by singer Tyra Chantey. The song was produced by Jayda Sekamate and released on July 29, 2022.
“Yellow” by Tyra is a powerful and emotional song that explores the pain of a toxic relationship. The lyrics express feelings of vulnerability, frustration, and the struggle to let go of someone who continuously hurts the protagonist. The color “yellow” in the song symbolises the emotional pain and caution, much like a warning signal.
In the verses, Tyra portrays the internal conflict of being drawn to someone who preys on her weaknesses, despite knowing that they are not good for her. The pre-chorus highlights the difficulty of breaking free from this hold, even when it’s clear that the relationship is damaging.
The chorus, repeating the phrase “Yellow, yellow, it hurts like yellow,” emphasises the recurring pain and the need to finally let go. The bridge adds another layer, revealing a sense of betrayal and deception, where something about the person just doesn’t feel right. The song closes with a realisation that the relationship has been tried too many times, and it’s time to move on, despite the lingering attachment.
