Lyrics: Go-betweens. You Can't Say No Forever.

You can have hearing loss when your boyfriend says
He's boss, you're scared of a new endeavor
What can be tempting you?
Who can be tempting you
You look like a winter

You can't say no forever
You can't say no forever, I've tried

Run, if you have to run up to the mountain
Air a writer's retreat maybe
Sheltered and lonely
There a fireplace and a rocking chair
You understand me

You can't say no forever
You can't say no forever, I've tried
You can't say no

In December as the trees lined the drive
I'm sure your family remembers 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 piano played by a child's hand
Drifts over the verandah and I'm your man

You can't say no forever
You can't say no forever
You can't say no forever
You can't say no forever
I've tried and I know why
