Oscar Hammerstein II - I Cain't Say No 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 an' 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' Kissin's my favorite food! With or without the mistletoe I'm in a holiday mood! Other girls are coy an' hard to catch But other girls ain't havin' any fun! Ev'ry time I lose a wrastlin' match I have a funny feelin' that I won! Though I can feel the undertoe I never make a complaint Till it's too late for restraint Then when I want to, I cain't I cain't say 'No!'
