When I Say No Lyrics - Singles - Gibson Debbie

Performed by: Debbie Gibson 

Written by: Deborah Gibson 

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 eyes, 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 step away from me 

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

People think they get what they deserve 

But look who's calling the 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 girl rejects you 

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

CHORUS 

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!
