A MAN WHO CAN’T SAY NO
© 1997 by Jim Stringer

I guess I’m just a man who can’t say n-n-n-n--- (shoot)
The problem dogs me everywhere I go
Don’t know why it works that way,
Try as I might I just can’t say
That word, “N-O” and that spells n-n-n-n… (I suppose)

My girlfriend calls upon me
And brings her dirty laundry
And while she’s at it, could she use my phone
She dials aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces
Leaves my nerves in jangled pieces
Nearly talks me out of house and home.

Cause I’m just a man who can’t say n-n-n-n--- (fooey)
The problem dogs me everywhere I go
Don’t know why it works that way
Try as I might I just can’t say
That word, “N-O” and that spells n-n-n-n… (go right ahead)

A friend said “can I borrow
Your car until tomorrow…
And your credit card to fill it up with gas?”
He call me several days ago
From someplace down in Mexico
To complain my credit limit he’d just passed!

Cause I’m just a man who can’t say n-n-n-n--- (rats)
The problem dogs me everywhere I go
Don’t know why it works that way
Try as I might I just can’t say
That word, “N-O” and that spells n-n-n-n… (sure why not)
That word “NO” that spells NO DAMN IT!!!!
