If You Ask Me (I Won't Say No) - Pete Shelley

I can’t sleep my dreams are dreamless

Something’s going on between us

I’m too nervous though to make the first move

All I need is your attention

Love’s so very hard to mention

Especially when we’re just supposed to be friends

You look to me like you’ve got all the answers

Here’s something else you should know

If you ask me I won’t say no If you ask me I won’t say no Small talk always sounds familiar

If I make a pass won’t you will you

I couldn’t stand to have to start over again

I react to your reaction

I’m attracted by your attraction

Can’t see why we cannot be lovers as friends

I’m not saying that I’ve got all the answers

But I can tell you this though

If you ask me I won’t say no If you ask me I won’t say no

I’m not being backward coming forward

Just sideway’s my style

Instead of me just inching closer

Won’t you give me a sign

The cause of my misaprehension’s

My deep seated fear of rejection

Help me to express the affection I feel

I’m not being backward coming forward

Just sideway’s my style

Instead of me just inching closer

Won’t you give me a sign

And what’s the point in me pretending

That I don’t mind

You need only to ask me the question

And I’ll be by your side

If you ask me I won’t say no If you ask me I won’t say no If you ask me I won’t say no If you ask me I won’t say no
