That's a No No

(Ben Peters)



You had quite good thing goin'

With the girls you're used to knowin'

You went up and down your list just like a yo-yo

And though it may be hard to stop it

I'm afraid you'll have to drop it

'Cause if you want me to love you that's a no, no.



I know you're used to goin' places

Where's there lights and painted faces

Where the dancing girls do something they call go-go

I don't want to spoil your fun now

But if I'm the only one now

And if you want me to love you that's a no, no.



You know a no, no means baby shouldn't touch

If baby really loves his mama so much.



So if you just can't resist 'em

If they're not out of your system

And if there's some more wild oats you've got to go sow

Just remember while you're sowin'

I'll be a packin' up and goin'

'Cause I've told you many times that that's a no, no.

You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch

If baby really loves his mama so much.



So if some old flame starts burnin'

Or if you should get to yearnin'

To go back to where those women that you know go

Don't come home expecting mama's

A waitin' here in her pajamas

'Cause I've told you many times that that's a no, no.



Oh, you should know by now that's a no, no.

Yeah, you should know by now that that's a no, no...
