Someone, somewhere Holds on to every little thing And you are that one Golden in every single way But, how do you say no so well? Just leave it on the shelf, oh well A momentary lapse of judgment But, how do you say no so well? As close as I can get Still further than the rest The diamonds on your necklace Match the crown around your head And how could I forget Anything you said? It was you that set the precedent My feelings couldn't match But, how do you say no so well? Just leave it on the shelf, oh well A momentary lapse of reason But, how do you say no so well? Now that you've shared your opinion And I can get over the notion Of shade you've been throwing Don't stop, give me just a little conversation I can accept it But I'll always question How do you say no so well? When everybody knows That you're playing the field There's magic in the way You catch my ear But, how do you say no so well? And how do you say no so well? When everybody knows That you're playing the field There's magic in the way You catch my ear So, how do you say no so well? She said no, she said no
