Whitney Houston
Tell Me No
[Verse 1]
Reaching for my dreams
And you're so quick to say what I can't do
You criticize my actions
But I don't see you standing in my shoes
I'm going the wrong way, I'm doing the wrong things
Every word just gives me fuel
So come on come on come on come on come on come on
[Chorus]
And tell me no
And I'll show you I can
And tell me no
I dig my feet right in
Tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
[Verse 2]
For every step I take you're right there
Trying to block my next move
If you're making me feel bad
Then tell me then do you feel good
I'm just human and all I'm doing
That's what my heart tells me I should
So come on come on come on come on come on come on
[Chorus]
And tell me no
And I'll show you I can
And tell me no
I dig my feet right in
Tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
[Verse 3]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
It motivates me more and more
And I think it's time you know
Giving me something to work for
And I can't wait for the day
I can rub things in your face
And I ain't gon' stop 'til I'm done
I reach the top, I'm the number one
For every time you try and tell me no
For every time you try and tell me no
Oh, it makes me keep on keeping on
[Chorus]
Tell me no
And I'll show you I can
And tell me no
And I dig my feet right in
Tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
Tell me no
And I'll show you I can
Tell me no
I dig my feet right in
Tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
[Outro]
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
