Don’t Say No

If there’s one thing that I hate
More than any other bait
Is to hear a No when I want a yes
I give them no rest I’m a pest!

Tell me why not now I’m asking now
Just let me go I’m begging now
Don’t be so mean to me I mean
I want to go but you say no

Why why why why why?
Why ever not – I’m going to cry!

I want what I want
when I want what I want
and I want what I want right now
So don’t give me a no when I want a yes
Or I’ll scream and I’ll stamp and I’ll shout

I’ll mope I’ll cry
I’ll do or die

I’ll stamp and shout
And roll about
In a shop or in a bank
Or in a playground park
On the street or when I eat
Or while I’m waiting in the car
Or right here in my house

If there’s one thing I dislike
Even more than darkest night
Is to get a No when I need a yes
I can’t let go give up my quest
So I think and pine – it should be mine
I’m angry now a rebel too
I won’t do what I know you want
I want to go but you say stop

I can’t do what I want to do
So why ever should I do for you?

CHORUS

Oh I hate being wrong when you are right
You care for me and it isn’t spite
That you say no when I want to go
And I don’t want to hear a thing but yes!
Oh I cannot have all that I want
But what I have is what I’ve got
I’ll have to grow and learn some more
Then I’ll know what I am for

I’ve been mad for such a long while
Why don’t I ever learn to smile?
