I said yes to your number
Yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together
But you got away from me
The first time I say no
It's like I never say yes
I said yes, we can be together
Yes, you can stay with me
But when I say, "No, not tonight"
You're acting so ungratefully
The first time I say no
It's like I never say yes
You was on the mall, I was with my crew
You was watching me baby, I was watching you
Slowly you walk over, I maintain my cool
You say hello to me, I say hello to you
You ask me where I'm from, I ask you what you do
You somehow intrigue 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
Yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together
But you got away from me
The first time I say no
It's like I never say yes
I said yes, we can be together
Yes, you can stay with me
But when I say, "No, not tonight"
You're acting so ungratefully
The first time I say no
It's like I never say yes
Certainly, you can call me, baby
I love to hear from you
Yes, of course, you can come and see me, boy
When I get you, you know for sure I'm feeling you
No baby, no yes
We can take that next step
Why am I getting so upset for you?
Act as I thought
I never told you yes before
You're so ungrateful, mmm
You was at my house, I was sitting on my couch
You was really buggin' so I told you to get out
I have been misjudging you, you have a lot of nerve
You the mood to be so immature, I hope you learn
You say I move too slow, I show you to the door
You say you'll call me later, I say, "Don't call no more"
It's cool if you can't wait for me, I'm glad to let you know
'Cause you showed me your two faced babe
The first time I say no
I said yes to your number
Yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together
But you got away from me
The first time I say no
It's like I never say yes
I said yes, we can be together
Yes, you can stay with me
But when I say, "No, not tonight"
You're acting so ungratefully
The first time I say no
It's like I never say yes
