She Didn't Say Yes

She didn't say 'Yes', she didn't say 'No'
She didn't say 'Stay', she didn't say 'Go'
She only knew that he had spied her there
And then she knew he sat beside her there

At first there was heard not one little word
Then coyly she took one sly little look
Then something awoke and smiled inside
Her heart began beating wild inside

So, what did she do, I leave it to you
She did just what you'd do, too

She didn't say 'Yes', she didn't say 'No'
They very soon stood beside his chateau
They lingered like two poor waifs outside
For well she knew 'twas only safe outside

In there it was warm, out there it was cold
The sleet and the storm said etter be bold
She murmurred, "I'm not afraid of ice,
I only wish that I was made of ice"

So, what did she do, I leave it to you
She did just what you'd do, too

She didn't say 'Yes', she didn't say 'No'
She wanted to stay, but knew she should go
She wasn't so sure that he'd be good
She wasn't even sure that she'd be good

She wanted to rest, all cuddled and pressed
A palpable part of somebody's heart
She'd love to be au rapport with him
But not behind a bolted with him

So, what did she do, I leave it to you
She did just what you'd do, too

She didn't say 'Yes', she didn't say 'No'
But heaven was near, she wanted it so
Above her sweet love was beckoning
And yet she knew there'd be a reckoning

She wanted to climb, but dreaded to fall
So bided her time and clung to the wall
She wanted to act ad libitum
But feared to lose her equilibrium

So what did she do, I leave it to you
She did just what you'd do, too
