I Cain't Say No (From "Oklahoma!" 2019 Broadway Cast Recording) - Ali Stroker

Lyrics by：Oscar Hammerstein II

Composed by：Richard Rodgers

I ain't so much a question of not knowing 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 forgit

I'm just a girl who cain'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 'em 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 cain't say no

Whatcha gonna do when a feller gets flirty

And starts to talk purdy

Whatcha gonna do

Supposin' that he says that your lips are like cherries

Or roses or berries

Whatcha gonna do

Supposin' that he says that you're sweeter than cream

And he's gotta have cream or die

Whatcha gonna do if he talks that 'a way

Spit in his eye

I'm just a girl who cain't say no

Can't seem to say it all

I hate to disserpoint 'em though

When he is payin' a call

For a while I act refined and cool

'A sittin' on the velveteen settee

Then I think of that old 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 a sit on their laps

Something inside of me snaps

I cain't say no

I'm just a girl who cain't say no

Kissin's my favorite food

With or without the mistletoe

I'm in a holiday mood

Other girls are coy and hard to catch

But other girls ain't havin' any fun

Every time I lose a wrestlin' match

I have a funny feeling that I won

Though I can feel the undertow

I never make a complaint

'Till it's too late for restraint

Then when I want to I cain't

I cain't say no
