Key: Eb major
Verse 1
of not knowing what to do
I know what's right and wrong
since I've been ten
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 can't say no,
I'm in a terrible fix,
I always say come on let's go,
just when I ought to say nix,
when a person tries to kiss a girl,
I know she ought to give his face a smack,
but as soon as someone kisses me,
I somehow sort of want to kiss him
back.
I'm just a fool when lights are low.
I can't be prissy and quaint.
G
D
I ain't the type that can faint.
How can I be what I ain't?
I can't say no.
Whatcha gonna do when a fella gets flirty,
starts to talk purty, whatcha gonna do,
supposin' that he says that your lips are like cherries, roses, or berries,
whatcha gonna do, supposin' that he says that
you're sweeter than cream,
and he's gotta have cream or die,
whatcha gonna do
when he talks that away?
Spit in his eye?
I'm just a girl who can't say no
Can't seem to say it at all
I hate to disappoint a beau
When he is paying a call
For a while I act refined and cool
Settin' down the pelvitensity
And 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
G

sombrero and chaps.
G
D
Soon as I sit on their laps,
something inside of me snaps.
I can't say no.
I'm just a girl who can't
say no.
Kissing'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
having any fun.
Every time I lose a wrestling match,
I have a funny feelin' that I won.
Though I can feel the undertow,
I never make a complaint.
D
then when I want to, I can't, I can't say no.
