(Tom T. Hall)

Why is it so hard to say no it's only a two letter word

It's not that we say something weird

It's nothing that they haven't heard

Why is it so hard to say no it's just as easy as yes

Some people do things that they shouldn't be doing

Because they can't say no I guess.

Why is it so hard to say no are there some feeling's to hurt

What do they expect when someone suggests

Let's go outside and eat dirt

Why is it so hard to say no instead of just saying OK

No means I don't and I won't and I can't

In other words no means no way.

--- Instrumental ---

Why is it so hard to say no it's hard to say no to a friend

But sometimes a friend can be wrong about things

You have to say no in the end

Why is it so hard to say no we don't like to let people down

But we must learn to say it and say it politely

Or people will push us around.

So here is our lesson today a word that can make people frown

A word that can sometimes hurt feelings

No means only a sound

Just put your tongue at the top is everyone ready to go

We're saying that word that is so hard to say

Are you ready yes well, OK it's no...
