Lyrics
PLAIN AS THE NO'S ON HER LIPS
I'M SETTING ON A FRIDAY NIGHT, DOWN AT THE YELLOW ROSE
IN WALKS THE CUTEST THING WITH EYES LIKE SHERYL CROW
SHE WAS A BEAUTY, LONG LEGS AND HOT BLOND HAIR
IT TOOK ABOUT ALL MY MIGHT TO SIT AND NOT TO STARE
MY HEART WAS POUNDING
AS I TAPPED HER ON THE SHOULDER
BUT AS SHE SPUN AROUND
MY WORLD CAME CRASHING DOWN
IT WAS PLAIN AS THE NO'S ON HER LIPS
WHEN I ASKED HER FOR A LITTLE KISS
LIKE A DETOUR SIGN I COULD NOT MISS
PLAIN AS THE NO'S ON HER LIPS
I HOPPED INTO MY DODGE HEADED FOR THE DAIRY FREEZE
WHEN AT THE ROADSIDE CURB I SPOTTED SWEET LOUISE
HER HAIR WAS FIERY RED WITH MATCHING LIPS AND NAILS
SHE COULD TAKE MY POCKET CHANGE AND FLIP IT HEADS TO TAILS
AS I WAS REACHING OUT
TO PUT MY ARMS AROUND HER
THERE CAME THAT FRIGHTNING SOUND
THAT KNOCKED MY WORLD BACK DOWN
IT WAS PLAIN AS THE NO'S ON HER LIPS
WHEN I ASKED HER FOR A LITTLE KISS
LIKE A DETOUR SIGN I COULD NOT MISS
PLAIN AS THE NO'S ON HER LIPS
SOMETIMES YOU'RE FORCED
TO JUDGE A BOOK BY JUST THE COVER
THE WARNING'S LOUD AND CLEAR
THERE IS NO STORY HERE
