Lyrics for You Can't Say No Forever

You can have hearing loss when you're Boyfriend says he's boss you're scared of A new endeavour. What can be tempting You? Who can be tempting you, you Look like a winter. You can't say no forever You can't say No forever. I've tried. Run! if you have to run up to the mountain Air a writer's retreat maybe. Sheltered And lonely there a fireplace and a rocking Chair you understand me. You can't say no forever You can't say No forever. I've tried. You can't say no in December as the trees Lined the drive. I'm sure your family Remembers me by your side. Night! as your clothes discard he asks Was your day hard you can barely answer "Yes my world's Tumbling down Stone by stone To the ground" Please take out the garbage. You can't say no in December a piano Played by a child's hand drifts over the Verandah and I'm your man. You can't say no forever. You can't say No forever. You can't say no forever. You can't say no forever. I've tried and I know why.
