I Cain't Say No

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

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

I heard 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 forget!

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 ought say 'Nix.'

When a person tries to kiss a girl

I know she ought 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?

Supposing that he says

That your lips are like cherries,

Or roses, or berries

Whatcha gonna do?

Supposing 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 paying a call!

For a while I act refined and cool,

A setting on the velveteen satin

And then I think of that old golden rule,

And do for him what he would do for me!

I cain't resist a Romeo

In a sombrero and chaps

Soon as I sit on their laps

Something inside of me snaps

I cain't say no!
