Maybe I thought I wanted to be here.
Maybe I thought I wanted - your lovin' - tonight.
The music too slow,
The lights too low.
But something just wasn't right.
I started to fear your glowing eyes,
Your tender touch.
Your words they were too much for me,
But when I tried - to push you away,
You said you didn't think I'd want it that way.

When I say no,
That's what I mean.
Not maybe so - or what's in between.
If I said yes,
That's what it would be.
Is that what you heard?
No.
So step away from me.

True there are some girls - who know what they're doing.
People think they get - what they deserve,   (They get it),
But look who's calling the kettle back.
Baby you've got some nerve.
I do not know why - the reasons lie - so unclear,
But boy you've got to understand,
If any girl - rejects you,
Don't you doubt it's part of the plan.

When I say no,
That's what I mean.
Not maybe so - or what's in between.
If I said yes,
That's what it would be.
Is that what you heard?
No.
So step away from me.

When I say no,
That's what I mean.
Not maybe so - or what's in between.
If I said yes,
That's what it would be.
Is that what you heard?
No.
No.

Ego trips won't save you when your woman is deceived.
Act upon what matters baby,
Not how you're perceived.
She will love you more and maybe the rest will follow,
But not if you push it baby.

When I say no,
That's what I mean.
Not maybe so - or what's in between.
If I said yes,
That's what it would be.
Is that what you heard?
No.
So step away from me.

When I say no,
Boy I mean no.
When I say no,
I say no boy.

When I say no,
Boy I mean no.
When I say no,
I say no boy.

When I say no,
That's what I mean.
Not maybe so - or what's in between.
If I said yes,
It's what it would be.
Is that what you heard?
No.
So step away from me.

When I say no,
That's what I mean.
Not maybe so - or what's in between.
If I said yes,
That's what it would be.
Is that what you heard?
No.

When I say no,
That's what I mean.
Not maybe so - or what's in between.
