I Didn't Have the Nerve to Say No

Not rated yet.

You got ants in your pants, I don't understand, I don't trust the flick of your eye
You're a viper and love's a fever
You said something profane and went for a vein but in spite of your delicate touch
I should have known as much: I'm a bleeder

I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)

You caught me surprised and my will resigned to torture the minds of them all
You're a brain-drain, you'd better beat it
I'm following lines, the blind leads the blind, so hang me a grant or a stay
You better cut me loose or hand me a noose

I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)

I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)

You said something profane and went for a vein but in spite of your delicate touch
I should have known as much: I'm a bleeder

There's no end to the problem of a bad situation, complication
No-no, no-no, ah
There's no end to the problem and frustration, I need a vacation
No-no, no-no, ah
There's no end to the problem, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
No-no, no-no, ah
There's no end to the problem, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
And I know I couldn't, and I know that I couldn't say no
