I Cain’t Say No

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

I've known what's right and wrong since I've been ten

I hear 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 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 oughta say "nix!"

When a person tries to kiss a girl

I know she oughta give his face a smack

But as soon as someone kisses me

I somehow sorta want to kiss them back

I'm just a fool when lights are low

I can't be prissy and 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

And starts to talk purdy?

Whatcha gonna do?

Supposin' that he says that your lips are like cherries

Or roses

Or berries

Whatcha gonna do?

Supposin' he says that he says you're 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 just a girl who cain't say no

Can't seem to say it at all!

I hate to disserpoint a beau

When he's payin' a call

For a while I acted refined and cool

Sittin' on a velveteen settee

Then I think of that old golden rule

And do for him what he would do for me!

I can't resist a Romeo

In a sombrero and chaps

As soon as I sit on their laps

Something inside of me snaps

I cain't say no

I'm just 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 ain't havin' any fun!

Every time I lose a wrestling match

I have a funny feeling that I won

Though I can feel the undertow

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!
