Guess it slipped my mind: now I'm in trouble deep
For the last two years in a row
I forgot our anniversary
So I come rushin' in: twelve roses in bloom
Said: "Honey would you like a romantic evening
"Out under the stars and the moon?"

She didn't say: "No."
But in her eyes I could see
That this wouldn't turn out to be
The enchanted evenin' I thought it might be
Yes, I sure found out
Got a long way to go
She didn't say no:
She said: "Hell, no."

An' we split the sheets
Ah, 'bout six months ago
I told all my buddies down at the bar:
"This cowboy's headed home."
Walked into her house
Yeah, climbed right up in her bed:
When I asked her if she still loved me
Man, you know what she said?

Whoa, she didn't say: "No."
But in her eyes I could see
That this wouldn't turn out to be
The fairy-taled ending I thought it might be
An' I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no:
She said: "Hell, no."

Yeah, I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no:
She said: "Hell, no."

Ah
