I Said No Lyrics

There I stood in her doorway so boldly,
And I whispered a pleasure she'd miss!
Though at first she refused very coldly,
How long can a lady resist?
How long can a lady resist?

I said "Now?", she said "Well!",
I said "Ah, this is swell!",
And the way she looked at me was a crime!
And at last, you can guess,
She said "Yes yes yes yes yes!",
Words she really meant to say all the time!

I said "No!", he said "Please!",
I said "No!", he said "Please!",
I said "No!", he said "Please, pretty baby!",

I said "No!", he said "Why?",
I said "No!", he said "Why?",
I said "No!", he said "Try!",
I said "Maybe!".

He said "Now?", I said "Well!",
He said "Ah, this is swell,
And you'll never know how much it will mean;
So at last, confess!",
I said "Yes yes yes yes yes!",

She said "No!", I said "Please!",
She said "No!", I said "Please!",
She said "No!", I said "Please, pretty baby!"

She said "No!", I said "Why?",
She said "No!", I said "Why?",
She said "No!", I said "Try!",
She said "Maybe!".

He said "Now?", I said "Well!",
He said "Ah, this is swell,
And you'll never know how much it will mean;
So at last, confess!",
I said "Yes yes yes yes yes!",
That's how I subscribed to Liberty magazine!
