when i say no

Singer:debbie gibson

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 eye

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

but look who's calling the kettle black

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!

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

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!
