It ain't so much a question of not knowin' hut to do 

I knowed what's right an' wrong since I've been teen.

I heared a lot of stories an' I reckon they're 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 fergit!

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 aughta say 'Nix.'

When a person tries to kiss a girl

I know she aughta 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!'



Whatcha gonna do when a feller gets flirty

An' starts to talk purty

Whatcha gonna do?

S'pposin' that he says 

That your lips are like cherrys,

Or roses, or berries

Whatcha gonna do?

S'pposin' that he says t

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 jist 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 ack refined and cool,

A settin on the velveteen setee

Nen I think of thet ol' golden rule,

And do fer him what he would do fer me!

I cain't resist a Romeo

In a sombrero and chaps

Soon as I sit on their laps

Somethin' inside of me snaps

I cain't say no!
