Tekst piosenki 'Learn To Say No' wykonawcy Lydia Loveless

I turned everything off just to turn it back on
Thought I wouldn't cry but I’m usually wrong
‘Cause the sound a man makes is a terrible song
‘Til somebody’s down I do nothing at all

And like an animal I cannot seem to leave
My house without shitting myself instantly
Can’t go anywhere without being three sheets
I guess I’ll always be this goddamn unhappy

Someday I’ll learn what it’s like to say no
Someday I’ll learn what it’s like to say no
I just ain’t ready for what it feels like to say no

I know I’ve done nothing to earn your respect
I know better than your friends just how much of a mess
I have made out of this
Honey, I still really don’t care what she says

‘Cause to say I am dissatisfied would somehow imply
That I was deserving of a better life
But I’ve already given up trying to deny
So many wondering eyes

Someday I’ll learn what it’s like to say no
And I still won’t learn what it’s like to say no
‘Cause you ain’t ever had to learn to just say no

Sometimes I think I should just go for a walk
But then somehow I do nothing at all
Why does it take so much out of me to be this weak?
Convince myself that someone’s looking over my shoulder
Telling me this is the life that you chose
Why does it take so much work to keep you company?
It’s like I gotta treat my body like an indestructible machine

So I raise a toast to the people who think
That it’s just as easy as turning down a couple drinks
To the ones who still think walking is a cinch
It’s ‘cause they just don’t know how hard it is

‘Cause they don’t know what it’s like to say no
Man, they don’t know what it’s like to say no
And they won’t ever have to learn to just say no

And now I’m gonna learn what it’s like to say no
Well, girl, you’re gotta have to learn what it’s like to say no
Well, I don’t really care much for what it’s like to say no
Right now
