Don’t Take No for an Answer (BBC Sight & Sound) Songtext
von Tom Robinson Band

We first met in the winter
Said, "Let′s give it a try"
I swallowed my fears
A couple of years
Just living a lie
I'd just come from the country
Wide-eyed and naive
I′d signed on the line
I'd signed up on time
Now you won't ever leave

But you don′t take no for an answer
Don′t take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
When you′ve nothing to lose
You don't take no for an answer
Don′t take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Put yourself in my shoes


I don′t want any trouble
I ain't after a fight
But well respected man
You better understand
Man, you're standing in my light
There′s no use sticking together
I gotta get out and get off
I offered you a slice
You tell me no dice
′Cause you want to flip the lot

But you don't take no for an answer
Don′t take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
When you′ve nothing to lose
You don't take no for an answer
Don′t take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Put yourself in my shoes

I don't want any trouble
I ain′t after a fight
But well respected man
You better understand
Man, you′re standing in my light
There's no use sticking together
I gotta get out and get off
I offered you a slice
You tell me no dice
′Cause you want to flip the lot


But you don't take no for an answer
Don′t take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
When you′ve nothing to lose
You don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Don′t take no for an answer
Put yourself in my shoes

I said you don′t take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Don′t take no for an answer
When you've nothing to lose
You don′t take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
