Hello young lovers, whoever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you
Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star
Be brave and faithful and true
Cling very close to each other tonight
I've been in love like you
It ain't so much a question of not knowing what to do
I knowed what's right an' wrong since I've been ten
I heard a lot of stories and I reckon they're true
About how girls are put upon by men
I know I mustn't fall into the pit
But when I'm with a feller
I ferget!
You forget?
Yeah
I'm just a girl who cain't say no
I'm in a terrible fix
I always say 'come on, let's go'
Just when I oughta say 'nix'
When a person tries to kiss a girl
I know she oughta 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 cain't say no
Watcha gonna do when a feller gets flirty
And starts to talk purty
Whatcha gonna do?
Supposin that he says
Your lips are like cherries
Or roses or berries
Whatcha gonna do?
Supposin' that he says
That you're sweeter than cream
And he's gotta have cream or die
Whatcha gonna do when he talks that way?
Spit in his eye?
Though I can feel the undertow
I never make a complaint
'Till it's too late for restraint
Then when I want to I cain't
I cain't say no!
