A girl who can’t say no

I’m just a girl who can’t say no.

That’s probably not much of a surprise to you, is it?

And I bet you know the song as well.  Hubby always likes to hear me humming it around the house at the weekend, because he knows I’m thinking ahead, and he knows there’s something going on in my knickers…

What you probably don’t know is that the song was written more than fifty years ago, which makes me feel a little beter, because it’s nice to know you’re not the only one who feels like this -

I’m just a girl who can’t say no,
I’m in a terrible fix
I always say come on, let’s go
Just when I ought to say nix!
When a person tries to kiss a girl,
I know she ought to give his face a smack.
But as soon as someone kisses me,
I somehow, sorta, want to kiss him back!
I’m just a fool when lights are low
I can’t be prissy and quaint
I ain’t the type that can faint
How can I be what I ain’t?
I can’t say no!
What you goin’ to do when a feller gets flirty, and starts to talk pretty?
What you goin’ to do?
S’posin he says that your lips’re like cherries, or roses, or berries?
What you goin’ to do?
S’posin’ he says that you’re sweeter than cream,
And he’s gotta have cream or die?
What you goin’ to do when he talks that way,
Spit in his eye?
I’m just a girl who can’t say no,
Kissing’s my favourite food
With or without the mistletoe
I’m in a holiday mood.
Other girls are coy and hard to catch
But other girls ain’t having any fun
Every time I lose a wrestling match
I have a funny feeling that I won
Although I can feel the undertone
I never make a complaint
Till it’s to late for restraint
Then when i want to I can’t
I can’t say no
