I Won’t Say I Will

You're a very naughty boy when you
Ask me for a kiss
I'm dismayed, a little bit afraid
Now, holding hands is quite a joy
For a truly modest miss
I should do just as well for you
I am not refusing you, dear
Let me make this perfectly clear

I won't say I will, ah ah ah
But I won't say I won't
I don't say I do but I don't say I don't
Kissing of any kind never was on my mind
Maybe I can't arrange it
It's my mind and I can't change it

I might say I might but modesty forbids
That's the reason why I don't
So you mustn't be cross at a little delay
You ought to know Rome wasn't built in a day
I won't say I will but I won't say I won't

You'd be taken your kiss if
You had any cheer
Maybe I'd scream but my voice is so weak
I won't say I will but I won't say I won't
