Oscar Hammerstein - I Cain't Say No lyrics

It ain't so much a question of not knowin' what to do I knowed what's right an' wrong since I've been ten I've heard a lot of stories and I reckon they're true About how girls are put upon by men I know I musn't fall into the pit But when I'm with a feller I ferget! 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 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 Watcha gonna do when a feller gets flirty And starts to talk purty Whatcha gonna do? Supposin that he says 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 disserpoint a beau When he is payin' a call! Fer a while I act refined and cool A settin on the velveteen setee Then I think of that ol' golden rule And do fer him what he would do fer 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! I'm just a girl who cain't say no Kissin's my favorite 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 wrastlin' match I have a funny feeling that I won Though I can feel the undertoe 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!
