Debbie Gibson When I Say No song lyrics

Verse:

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

Chorus:

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 stepaway from me

Verse:

True there are some girls who know what they're doing

People think they get what they deserve

But look who's calling th 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 gir rejects you

Don't you doubt it's part of the plan

Chorus

Bridge:

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!
