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, 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 taking 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
