I asked you one time
You said you wouldn’t see me
I asked you two times
You said you wouldn’t see me
I asked you three times
You said you wouldn’t see me
Now, what’s a poor boy to do?

I asked you four times
You said you wouldn’t see me
So I asked you five times
You said you wouldn’t see me
Then I asked you six times
You said you wouldn’t see me
There’s just no pleasin’ you

And on the seventh time
You said you wouldn’t see me
And on the eighth time
You said you wouldn’t see me
And on the ninth time
You said you wouldn’t see me
But on the tenth (but on the tenth)
You said you would (you said you would)
You said you would not see me

Eleven, twelve times
You said you wouldn’t see me
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen times
You said you wouldn’t see me
Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four
You said you wouldn’t see me
Now, what’s a poor boy to do?
There’s just no pleasin’ you
There’s just no pleasin’ you
