Lyrics
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!
