Jesse Boykins III
If I Could Tell You No
Rocketships in every hue
Skies in green and grass in blue
Deny you all these things
If I could tell you no
Diamonds, rubies, pearls, and stones
Fall in Paris, spring in Rome
You ask for all these things
And I can’t tell you no
People say that I’m the biggest fool that they’ve ever seen
They tell me I should be a man but what does it mean?
To be a man without someone to share a dream and a thrill
To be a man with someone as lovely as you (ahhhh)
Be my girl, I’ll be your boy
Please now baby don’t play coy
No need to be ashamed
With all the fancy things you’ve gained
Well, to me it’s all the same
You can’t take it with you when you die…I
Take your picture, take my hand
Don’t care if they don’t understand
You ask for all these things
But I can’t tell you no
But I can’t tell you no
If I could tell you no
