Say No to This |
| There’s nothing like summer in the city |
| Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty |
| There’s trouble in the air, you can smell it |
| And Alexander’s by himself. |
| I’ll let him tell it |
| I hadn’t slept in a week |
| I was weak, I was awake |
| You never seen a bastard orphan |
| More in need of a break |
| Longing for Angelica |
| Missing my wife |
| That’s when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life, she said: |
| I know you are a man of honor |
| I’m so sorry to bother you at home |
| But I don’t know where to go, and I came here all alone… |
| She said: |
| My husband’s doin' me wrong |
| Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me… |
| Suddenly he’s up and gone |
| I don’t have the means to go on |
| So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said |
| You’re too kind, sir |
| I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away |
| She lived a block away, she said: |
| This one’s mine, sir |
| Then I said, «Well, I should head back home,» |
| She turned red, she led me to her bed |
| Let her legs spread and said: |
| Stay? |
| Hey… |
| Hey… |
| That’s when I began to pray: |
| Lord, show me how to |
| Say no to this |
| I don’t know how to |
| Say no to this |
| But my God, she looks so helpless |
| And her body’s saying, «Hell, yes.» |
| Whoa… |
| No, show me how to |
| Say no to this |
| I don’t know how to |
| Say no to this |
| In my mind, I’m tryin' to go |
| Go! |
| Go! |
| Go! |
| Then her mouth is on mine, and I don’t say… |
| No! |
| No! |
| Say no to this! |
| No! |
| No! |
| Say no to this! |
| No! |
| No! |
| Say no to this! |
| No! |
| No! |
| Say no to this! |
| I wish I could say that was the last time |
| I said that last time. |
| It became a pastime |
| A month into this endeavor I received a letter |
| From a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said: |
| Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health |
| And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth |
| In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck |
| You see, that was my wife who you decided to |
| Fuuuu… |
| Uh-oh! |
| You made the wrong sucker a cuckold |
| So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled |
| And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife |
| If the price is right: if not I’m telling your wife |
| I hid the letter and I raced to her place |
| Screamed, «How could you?!"in her face |
| She said: |
| No, sir! |
| Half dressed, apologetic |
| A mess, she looked pathetic, she cried: |
| Please don’t go, sir! |
| So was your whole story a setup? |
| I don’t know about any letter! |
| Stop crying |
| Goddammit, get up! |
| I didn’t know any better |
| I am ruined… |
| Please don’t leave me with him helpless (I am helpless — how could I do this?) |
| Just give him what he wants and you can have me |
| (I don’t want you) |
| Whatever you want (I don’t want you) |
| If you pay (I don’t) |
| You can stay |
| (Lord, show me how to say no to this) |
| Tonight (I don’t know how to say no to this) |
| ('Cause the situation’s helpless) |
| Helpless |
| (And her body’s screaming, «Hell, yes.») |
| Whoa! |
| (No, show me how to say no to this) |
| How can you say no to this? |
| (How can I say no to this?) |
| (There is nowhere I can go) |
| (When her body’s on mine I do not say…) |
| (Yes) Yes |
| (Yes) Yes |
| (Yes) Ye-ye-yes |
| (Yes) Yes |
| (Say no to this…) |
| (I don’t say no to this) Don’t say no to this |
| (There is nowhere I can go) |
| So? |
| Nobody needs to know |
