Lyrics
(
Robert Forester)
You can have hearing loss when you'reboyfriend says he's boss you're scared ofa new endeavor. What can be temptingyou? Who can be tempting you, youlook like a winter.
You can't say no forever. You can't sayno forever. I've tried
Run! If you have to run up the mountainair a writer's retreat maybe. Shelteredand lonely there a fireplace and a rockingchair you understand me
You can't say no forever. You can't sayno forever. I've tried
You can't say no in December as the treeslined the drive. I'm sure your familyremembers 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 pianoplayed by a child's hand drifts over theverandah and I'm your man.
You can't say no forever. You can't sayno forever. You can't say no forever.
You can't say no forever. I've tried and
I know why.
