Rodgers And Hammerstein - I Cain't Say No! lyrics

rate me

Ado Annie:<br />

It ain't so much a question of not knowin' what to do.<br />

I knowed whut's right and wrong since I been ten.<br />

I heared a lota stories and I reckon they are true<br />

About how girls're put upon by men.<br />

I know I mustn't fall into the pit,<br />

But when I'm with a feller, I fergit!<br />

I'm jist a girl who cain't say no,<br />

I'm in a turrible fix<br />

I always say "come on, let's go"<br />

Jist when I orta say nix!<br />

When a person tries to kiss a girl,<br />

I know she oughta give his face a smack.<br />

But as soon as someone kisses me,<br />

I somehow, sorta, wanta kiss him back!<br />

I'm jist a fool when lights are low<br />

I cain't be prissy and quaint<br />

I ain't the type that can faint<br />

How c'n I be whut I ain't?<br />

I cain't say no!<br />

Whut you goin' to do when a feller gits flirty,<br />

And starts to talk purty? whut you goin' to do?<br />

S'posin' 'at he says 'at yer lips're like cherries,<br />

Er roses, er berries? Whut you goin' to do?<br />

S'posin' 'at he says 'at you're sweeter 'n cream,<br />

And he's gotta have cream er die?<br />

Whut you goin' to do when he talks that way,<br />

Spit in his eye?<br />

I'm jist a girl who cain't say no,<br />

Cain't seem to say it at all<br />

I hate to disserpoint a beau<br />

When he is payin' a call!<br />

Fer a while I ack refined and cool,<br />

A settin on the velveteen setee<br />

Nen I think of thet ol' golden rule,<br />

And do fer him what he would do fer me!<br />

I cain't resist a Romeo<br />

In a sombrero and chaps<br />

Soon as I sit on their laps<br />

Somethin' inside of me snaps<br />

I cain't say no
