I Didn't Have the Nerve To Say No (Live 27th May 1978. Boston, Paradise Ballroom) - Blondie

You got ants in your pants

I don't understand

I don't trust a blink of your eyes

You're a viper and love's your keeper

You said something profane and went for a vein

But in spite of your "delicate touch"

I should have known as much, another bleeder

I didn't have the nerve to say no

I didn't have the nerve to say no

You caught me surprised and my will resigned

Torture the minds of them all

You're a brain drain you'd better beat it

I'm following lines

The blind leads the blind

So hang me or grant me a stay

You better cut me loose or hand me a noose

I didn't have the nerve to say no

I didn't have the nerve to say no

No, no, no, no

(Repeat)

You said something profane and went for a vein

But in spite of your "delicate touch"

I should have known as much, another bleeder

There's no end to the problem of a bad situation

Complication

No, no, no, no, ah

There's no end to the problem and frustration

I need a vacation

No no no no ah

And I know I couldn't

And I know that I couldn't say no
