Lyrics I Couldn't Say No - Petra Berger, Пётр Ильич Чайковский

I Couldn't Say No

Life without a care
Innocence to spare
Feeling free, secretly
Dreaming my dreams
Far too soon the day
Vowed my life away
To the man I’ll obey
If I can, and I’m
Hopefully doing the family proud
The greatest man of France
Asking me to dance
Can’t resist, can’t ignore
Dreams coming true
Letter signed with «N»
Begging me again to be with him
Tonight, should I give in
He’s taken my body and shattered my pride
His carriage is ready and waiting outside
Will you admit you were with him last night?
I did what I did
And believed it was right
Will you confess that your morals are low?
I only said yes
'cause I couldn’t say no
.couldn't say no.
I couldn’t put up a fight
The nation was saved overnight
Is it for the people or me —
That — I cry
Life beyond a dream
No more self-esteem
The battle’s won, the war is lost,
Lost with my love
The dove will fly away
Hoping that one day,
I"ll be back with him
Can I keep track with him
Gave him my love, but
I can’t be his wife
You’ll be the one who is exiled for life
Will you admit you were with him last night?
I did what I did
And believed it was right
Will you confess that your morals are low?
I only said yes
'cause I couldn’t say no
.couldn't say no.
