🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • You're yes, then you're no
  • You're in, then you're out
  • You're up, then you're down
  • You're wrong when it's right

Echo the hook

  • You're hot, then you're cold
  • You're yes, then you're no
  • You're in, then you're out
  • You're up, then you're down
you'reit'scold
