It ain't so much a question of
Not knowin' what to do
I knowed what's right and wrong since I been ten
I heared a lotta 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 fella...
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 wanna kiss him back!
I'm just a fool when lights are low
I cain'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!
Watcha 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 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 just a girl who cain't say no
Cain't seem to say it at all
I hate to disappoint a beau
When he is payin' a call!
For a while I acts refined and cool
A-sittin' on the velveteen setee
Then I think of that ol' golden rule
And do for him what he would do for me
I cain't resist a Romeo
In a sombero and chaps
Soon as I sit on their laps
Somethin' inside of me snaps
I cain't say no!
