When you asked me out and I turned you down
Never thought that'd stop you from askin' now
Why did you go and give up so easily?
I thought you'd see
Chorus
When I say no I mean maybe
Baby, don't you know me yet?
Nothin's worth havin', if it ain't a little hard to get
So let me clarify so you won't have to try to guess
When I say no I mean maybe, or maybe I mean yes
Ever since woman has talked to man
Every man's been tryin' to understand
What's the harm in a little mystery?
That's how it should be
Chorus x2
Yes, it seems like a crazy way to be
But it makes perfect sense to me
Chorus
