I Cain't Say No
It ain't so much a question of not knowing what to do
I knew what's right an' wrong since I've been teen.
I heard a lot of stories an' I reckon they're true
About how girls are put upon by men.
I know I mustn't fall into the pit
But when I'm with a feller
I forget!
I'm just a girl who cain't say 'no'
I'm in a terrible fix!
I always say 'Come on, let's go' just when I ought say 'Nix.'
When a person tries to kiss a girl
I know she ought give his face a smack!
But as soon as someone kisses me
I somehow sorta want to kiss him back!
I'm just a fool when lights are low
I cain't be prissy an' quaint
I ain't the type that can faint
How can I be what I ain't?
I cain't say 'no!'
Whatcha gonna do when a feller gets flirty
An' starts to talk purty
Whatcha gonna do?
Supposing that he says
That your lips are like cherries,
Or roses, or berries
Whatcha gonna do?
Supposing that he says t
That yer sweeter than cream
and he's gotta have cream or die?
Whatcha gonna do when he talks that way?
Spit in his eye?
I'm jist a girl who cain't say no,
Cain't seem to say it at all.
I hate to disserpoint a beau.
When he is paying a call!
For a while I act refined and cool,
A setting on the velveteen satin
And then I think of that old golden rule,
And do for him what he would do for me!
I cain't resist a Romeo
In a sombrero and chaps
Soon as I sit on their laps
Something inside of me snaps
I cain't say no!
I knew what's right an' wrong since I've been teen.
I heard a lot of stories an' I reckon they're true
About how girls are put upon by men.
I know I mustn't fall into the pit
But when I'm with a feller
I forget!
I'm just a girl who cain't say 'no'
I'm in a terrible fix!
I always say 'Come on, let's go' just when I ought say 'Nix.'
When a person tries to kiss a girl
I know she ought give his face a smack!
But as soon as someone kisses me
I somehow sorta want to kiss him back!
I'm just a fool when lights are low
I cain't be prissy an' quaint
I ain't the type that can faint
How can I be what I ain't?
I cain't say 'no!'
Whatcha gonna do when a feller gets flirty
An' starts to talk purty
Whatcha gonna do?
Supposing that he says
That your lips are like cherries,

Supposing that he says t

And then I think of that old golden rule,
And do for him what he would do for me!
I cain't resist a Romeo
In a sombrero and chaps
Soon as I sit on their laps
Something inside of me snaps
I cain't say no!
