“No”
By Meghan Trainor
I think it's so cute
And I think it's so sweet
How you let your friends
Encourage you to try
And talk to me
But let me stop you there
Oh, before you speak
Nah to the ah to the no, no, no
Chorus
My name is no
My sign is no
My number is no
You need to let it go
You need to let it go
Need to let it go
Nah to the ah to the no, no, no
First you gonna say
You ain't runnin' game
Thinkin' I'm believing every word
Call me beautiful, so original
Telling me I'm not like other girls
I was in my zone
Before you came along
Now I'm thinking
Maybe you should go
Blah, blah, blah
I’ll be like
Nah to the ah to the no, no, no
All my ladies, listen up
If that boy ain't giving up
Lick your lips and swing your hips
Girl all you gotta say is
(Chorus)
Thank you in advance
I don't wanna dance
I don't need your hands all over me
If I want a man
Then I'mma get a man
But it's never my priority
I was in my zone
Before you came along
Don't want you to take this personal
Blah, blah, blah
I’ll be like nah to the ah to the no, no, no
(Chorus)
I'm feeling
Untouchable, untouchable
