I Can't Say

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It ain't so much a question of not knowin' hut to do

I knowed what's right an' wrong since I've been teen.

I heared 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 fergit!

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 aughta say 'Nix.'

When a person tries to kiss a girl

I know she aughta 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?

S'pposin' that he says

That your lips are like cherrys,

Or roses, or berries

Whatcha gonna do?

S'pposin' 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 payin' a call!

Fer a while I ack refined and cool,

A settin on the velveteen setee

Nen I think of thet ol' golden rule,

And do fer him what he would do fer me!

I cain't resist a Romeo

In a sombrero and chaps

Soon as I sit on their laps

Somethin' inside of me snaps

I cain't say no!

I'm jist a girl who cain't say 'no'

Kissin's my favorite food!

With or without the mistletoe

I'm in a holiday mood!

Other girls are coy an' hard to catch

But other girls ain't havin' any fun!

Ev'ry time I lose a wrastlin' match

I have a funny feelin' that I won!

Though I can feel the undertoe

I never make a complaint

'Till it's too late for restraint

Then when I want to I cain't

I cain't say 'no!'
