Won't Take Yes For An Answer

from Third Guessing by John Dunbar

/

lyrics

Every sign I read is so misread
Body language is a speech I dread
Any wonder why I never get ahead
Acceptance is a thing I can't accept
I am not the person to elect
For a letdown I am well and truly prepped
Being welcomed isn't welcoming
I would say rejection's more my thing
I never suffer when you think I'm suffering

Is it another fear of success?
I know the way I'm always gonna guess
The more I make of it makes it meaningless
Seems I'm always stopping at the green
I need at least to find an in-between
On the wrong side is where I'll always lean

Kind words go by in a blur
They all translate to "no sir"
'Cause I won't take yes for an answer

I prefer to have the shoulders cold
I can never ever be cajoled
High opinions of myself I do not hold
i don't miss it when I am dismissed
I am proud I'm never on the list
You think by now someone would get the gist

Kind words go by in a blur
All my neuroses must confer
'Cause I won't take yes for an answer
Kind words go by in a blur
Approval doesn't cause a stir
'Cause I won't take yes for an answer

The strange thing that is somehow true
If there's something I don't want to do
I'll have trouble saying no to you
But I won't take yes for an answer
