Land Of Yesterday
Caroline O'Connor
3:36It ain't so much a question of not knowin' what to do I knowed what's right and wrong since I been ten I heared a lot of stories and I reckon they are 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 forget! I'm just a girl who can'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 wanna 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 can't say no Whatcha gonna do when a feller gets flirty And starts to talk purty? Whatcha gonna do? S'posin' that he says that your lips are like cherries Or roses, or berries? Whatcha gonna do? S'posin' 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? I'm just a girl who can't say no Can't seem to say it at all I hate to disserpoint a beau When he is payin' a call For a while I act refined and cool A-sittin' on a velveteen settee Then I think of that ol' golden rule And do for him what he would do for me I can't resist a Romeo In a sombrero and chaps Soon as I sit on them laps Somethin' inside of me snaps I can't say no
