Lyrics I Said No - Jimmy Dorsey, Bob Eberly, Helen O'Connell

I Said No

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?
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!»
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!»
That’s how I subscribed to Liberty magazine!
