No Means No

(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.
