I Can't Say No lyrics

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

I've know'd what's right an' wrong since I've been ten!

I've heerd a lot of stories, and I reckon they are 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 furgit!

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

I'm in a turrible fix

I always say "come on, le's go"

Jist when I orta say nix!

When a person tries to kiss a girl,

I know she orta give his face a smack.

But as soon as someone kisses me,

I somehow, sorta, wanta kiss him back!

I'm jist a fool when lights are low

I cain't be prissy and quaint

I ain't the type that can faint

How c'n I be whut I ain't?

I cain't say no!

Whut you goin' to do when a feller gits flirty, and starts to talk purty?

Whut you goin' to do?

S'posin' 'at he says 'at yer lips're like cherries, er roses, er berries?

Whut you goin' to do?

S'posin' 'at he says 'at you're sweeter 'n cream,

And he's gotta have cream er die?

Whut you goin' to do when he talks that way,

Spit in his eye?

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

Kissin's my favourite food

with or without the mistletoe

i'm in a holiday mood.

other girls are coy and hard to catch

but other girls aint havin any fun

every time i lose a wrestling match

i have a funny feeling that i won

although i can feel the undertone

i never make a complaint

till its to late for restraint

then when i wanno i caint

i caint say no
