Learn to Say No Songtext
von Lydia Loveless

I turn everything off just to it back on
Thought I wouldn′t cry but I'm usually wrong
Because the sound a man makes is a terrible song
Till somebody′s down I do nothing at all

And like an animal I cannot seem to leave
The house without shitting myself instantly
Can't go anywhere without being three sheets
I guess I'll always be this goddam unhappy

Someday I′ll learn what it′s like to say no
Someday I'll learn what it′s like to say no
But I just ain't ready for what it feels like to say no

I know I′ve done nothing to earn your respect
I know better than your friends just how much of a mess
I have made of this
Honey I still really don't care what she says

Because to say I was disatisfied would somehow imply
That I was deserving of a better life
But I′ve already given up trying to deny
So while they're wondering, I...


Someday I'll learn what it′s like to say no
You still won′t learn what it's like to say no
But you won′t evr have to learn how to say no

Sometimes I think I should just go for a walk
But then somehow I do nothing at all
Why does it take so much out of me to be this weak?

Convince myself that somebody's looking over my shoulder
Telling me this is the life that you chose
Why does it take so much work to keep you company

That′s why I've got to treat my body like an indestructable machine

So raise a toast to the people who think
That it′s just as easy as turning down a couple of drinks
To the ones who still think that walking is a sentence
Because they just don't know how hard it is

They don't know what it′s like to say no
Many, they don′t know what it's like to say no
They won′t ever have to learn how to just say no

Now I'm gonna learn what it′s like to say no
Girl you're gonna learn what it′s like how to say no
Well, I don't really care much for what it feels like to say no

Right now
