Song Lyrics

Ah ha, ah ha, ah ha, ah, ah ha, ah, ah ha, ah ha, ah
I said yes to your number and yes to you datin' me
Yes we can be together but you gotta wait for me
The first time I say no, it's like I never said yes (it's like I never said yes)
I said, "yes, we can be together, yes, you can stay with me"
But when I say, "no, not tonight," you actin' so ungratefully
The first time I say no, it's like I never said yes (it's like I never said yes)

You was on the wall
I was with my crew
You was watchin' me baby
I was watchin' you
Slowly you walked over
I maintained my cool
You said hello to me, I
Said hello to you
You asked me where I'm from
I ask you what you do
You somehow intrigued me
I thought you were so cool
Somewhere between hi and goodbye
I felt so comfortable
I felt like we could talk all night
So I gave my number to you

I said yes to your number and yes to you dating me
Yes we can be together but you gotta wait for me
The first time I say no, it's like I never said yes (it's like I never said yes)
I said yes we can be together, yes you can stay with me
But when I say no not tonight, you actin' so ungratefully
The first time I say no, it's like I never said yes (it's like I never

Certainly you can call me baby
I love to hear from you
Yes of course you can come and see me boy
I wanna get to know you more, sure I'm feelin' you
No baby, not yet, we can't take that next step
Why you gettin' so upset? Boy you
Act as though I never told you yes before
You are so ungrateful, mmm, mmm, mmm

You was at my house
I was sittin on my couch
You was really buggin' so I
Told you to get out
I had been misjudging you
You had a lotta nerve, you
Too damn old to be so immature, I hope you learn
You said I move too slow
I showed you to the door
You said you'd call me later
I said, "don't call no more"
It is cool if you can't wait for me
I'm glad you let me know
'Cause you show me your true face baby
The first time I said no

I said yes to your number and yes to you dating me (hey)
Yes we can be together but you gotta wait for me (oh, mmm mmm)
The first time I say no, it's like I never said yes, it's like I never said yes,
(Ooh, I said yes) yes we can be together, (yes) yes you can stay with me
But when I say no not tonight, you actin' so ungratefully (oh)
The first time I say no (the very first time I say no)
It's like I never said yes (I never said yes) (I never, never said yes before)

I said yes to your number and yes to you datin' me
Yes we can be together but you gotta wait for me
The first time I say no, it's like I never said yes (it's like I never
