The Go‐Betweens - You Can't Say No Forever Lyrics

You can have hearing loss when you're
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.
