Why Do You Say No?

You're sitting there alone
Staring at your phone
Got the radio on
Your favorite song

You turn off the tv
Drop your set of keys and fob
You look around once more

& your bags are packed
& I'm thinking back
To a time before we got sore
When we could laugh or just kick back
And love ─ could we do it once more?

Baby, talk to me
And we could get along
─ Why do you say no?
Baby, walk with me
Or just hold me once more
But baby don't go

Why do you say no?
(Oh, baby, baby)

If you talk to me you can tell me what went wrong
─ Why do you say no?
Baby, talk to me and we could get along
But baby, don't go (no, oh)

I'm not afraid to take the heat if that's what you want
If it's all my fault, but love
You gotta take a beat to talk to me and tell me what's wrong
Tell me what you want

Baby, talk to me and tell me what went wrong
(Why do you say no?)
You can talk to me and we could get along
(Why do you say no?)

Baby, talk to me and tell me what you want
(Why do you say no?)
You can talk to me but baby, baby, no
Baby, please don't go

I'm not afraid to take the blame if that's what you want
If it's all my fault, then love
You can take it out on me; anything that's wrong
Just tell me what you want

You can talk to me and tell me what went wrong
(Why do you say no?)
Baby, talk to me and we could get along
(Why do you say no?)
Baby, talk to me and tell me what you want
(Oh, baby)
You can talk to me but baby, baby, no
Baby, please don't go

I'm on my hands and knees
Begging, baby, love
Oh baby, talk to me

(Why do you say no?)

I'm begging, darling, no
Oh, baby, baby, please
Oh, baby, baby, no

(Why do you say no?)
