I Don't Want To Say No

(альбом: Mathis Is... - 1977)

I gave you everything
Even let you wear my ring
Didn't I? Didn't I, lady?
You gave your heart to me
Promised love would always be
Didn't you? Didn't you, lady?

You put my love upon a shelf
Left me behind for someone else
Now you demand a second chance
Am I so blind?
Can there still be romance?

How can I forget everything you said
When I need you?
I don't want to say no
I don't want to say go
How can I forget everything you said
When I need you?
I don't want to say no
I don't want to say go

We knew the joy of love
Love would always be enough
Didn't we? Didn't we, lady?
If I forgive you now
Would my love be safe and sound?
Would it be?
Would it be, lady?

You treated me just like a toy
Played with my heart
Tore it apart
I still remember all the pain
How do I know this time won't be the same?

How can I forget everything you said
When I need you?
I don't want to say no
I don't want to say go
How can I forget everything you said
When I need you?
I don't want to say no
I don't want to say go
No, no...
