(Verse 1)
He bought me a drink, and we talked for a while
He seemed kinda sweet, with a boyish smile
He walked me to my truck, said he had a good night
I thanked him and said, "Yeah, you were alright."
He leaned in closer, a little too slow
I looked away, whispering, "I gotta go."
(Chorus)
'Cause no means no, no matter how you say it
No means no, you can't just play it
Like a game you're gonna win, you gotta understand
No means no, let go of my hand.
(Verse 2)
He followed me out to the parking lot
Said, "C'mon, one last kiss, what do you got?"
I saw his eyes turn cold, his smile disappear
He moved in close and whispered, "What's the big fear?"
He didn't see the tears in my eyes, just the 'No' on my lips
And the way my hand was gripping the car keys in my fist.
(Chorus)
'Cause no means no, no matter how you say it
No means no, you can't just play it
Like a game you're gonna win, you gotta understand
No means no, let go of my hand.
(Bridge)
He said he was shy, said he was drunk, couldn't take a hint
But a 'no' is a 'no', it's not some fine print
It's not a suggestion, a maybe, or a plea
It's the only word that should be heard from me.
(Chorus)
'Cause no means no, no matter how you say it
No means no, you can't just play it
Like a game you're gonna win, you gotta understand
No means no, let go of my hand.
(Outro)
Yeah, no means no
It's time to go...
Let go of my hand.
