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

And 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, "Better be bold"

She murmured, "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 on rapport with him

But not behind a bolted door with him

And 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

For 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
