CAN'T SAY NO
Irresistible Temptations: Embracing the Unpredictable Joys of Saying Yes
Lyrics
He met these girls down at Calico Jack's
He encountered these girls at Calico Jack's.
And didn't plan on coming back
He didn't intend to return.
One's a lover
One of the girls is a lover.
One's a fighter
One of the girls is a fighter.
One's a pretty little liar
One of the girls is deceitful and attractive.
And they're home sick maniacs
These girls are homesick and unstable individuals.
And I must profess B. Joel said it best
Referencing a statement by B. Joel about sinners being more enjoyable.
Sinners are much more fun
Sinners are more entertaining or appealing.
It's the changing in the season
Changes in seasons don’t necessitate having a motive to leave.
You don't have to have a reason to go
No need for a specific reason to depart.
And if you say I'm causing trouble
If accused of causing problems,
My rebuttal is
His counterargument is
I can't say no
He is unable to refuse.
I can't say no
He cannot decline.
I can't
He simply cannot.
Told me to show up at Long Beach Road
Advised to appear at Long Beach Road,
And I always do what I am told
He always complies with instructions.
Took the subway up from Brooklyn
Took the subway from Brooklyn,
Just because you said I wouldn't
As a challenge because he was told he wouldn't.
And I'm out to prove you wrong
He's determined to prove the person wrong.
With tequila in a bottle and a hangover tomorrow let's go
With tequila and anticipating a hangover, he's ready to go.
And if you say that this is trouble
If this situation is deemed troublesome,
My rebuttal is
His argument is
I can't say no
He's incapable of refusing.
I can't
He cannot.
I can't say no
He cannot refuse.
I can't say no
He cannot decline.
With tequila in a bottle and a story for tomorrow lets go
With tequila and a story for tomorrow, he's eager to proceed.
I don't care where the bottom is the problem is I can't say no
He doesn't mind the consequences and is unable to say no.
And if you say I'm causing trouble my rebuttal is
If accused of causing trouble,
I can't say no
His defense is
I can't say no
He's incapable of refusal.
I can't
He cannot.
I can't say no
He cannot decline.
I can't say no
He cannot.
I can't say no
-I can't
