No (Live)
View ArtistLyrics
You can say no to the beggar in the street And to the zealot with the blissed-out smile No to the dog and the parakeet No to the crying child You can say no to the waiter who's pushing The twelve-day old cole slaw You can say no to your uncle or your brother Your father or your father-in-law You can answer no to a Gallup poll And vote no in a voting booth You can refuse the facts You can refute the truth No on the loan of your lawn mower To the neighbor who lives next door You can say no to the bartender When he starts to pour one more But you can't no No, to that woman No, to that woman You can say no to the bully or the boss Fat belly with the big cigar You can say no to the sergeant-at-arms And the Sheriff with the shining star You can say no to sure success No to fame and wealth You can say no to the devil in the desert And you can say no to yourself You can turn down and interview And turn down an autograph hound You can decline the lines The dope dealer is passing around You can say no the old homo Who's tryin'a squeeze your thigh You can say nay to the CIA Next to the FBI But you can't no No, to that woman You can't say no No, no, to that woman You can give up cigarettes Sugar and meat for Lent You can renege on your landlord When the time comes to pay the rent You can say no to almost anything You're asked to do You can say, "No", you can say, "No way" Or you can say, "No thank you" You can reject a final request Deny a desperate plea You can say no when they ask you To agree to surgery Almost every single time Negativity'll pull you through But you're in a mess when she wants a yes 'Cause she will get it right out of you Can't say no No, no to that woman Can't say no No, no to that woman
