It ain't so much a question
of not knowing what to do
I know 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 gal
who can'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 fella tries to kiss a gal
I know she oughta give his face a smack
But as soon as someone kisses me,
I somehow sort of 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 fade,
how can I be what I ain't?
I can't say no
Whatcha gonna do
when a fella gets flirty
and starts to talk purty?
Whatcha gonna do,
supposin' that he says
that your lips are like cherries
or roses or berries?
Whatcha gonna do,
supposin' that he says
that you're sweeted and cream
and he's gotta have cream or die?
you gonna do when he talks that way,
ooh, spit in his eye?
I'm just a gal who can't say no,
can't seem to say it at all
I hate to disappoint a foe
when he is paying a call
For a while I act re fined and cool,
setting 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.
Soon as I sit on their wire
Something inside of me smiles
I can't say no
