Oscar Hammerstein II - I Cain't Say No (Stage Version) lyrics

[ANNIE] It ain't so much a question of not knowin' what to do I knowed what's right an' wrong since I been ten I heared 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 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 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 wanna 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'posin' that he says That your lips are like cherries Or roses, or berries? Whatcha gonna do? S'posin' that he says That yer sweeter 'n 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-sittin' on the velveteen setee An' then I think of that 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 Something inside of me snaps I cain't say 'No!'
