Please don't say: No, say: Maybe
Or say: Come back in the spring
Say any ol' thing, but don't say: No
Please don't say: No, 'cause baby
I've so much love to impart
It's making my heart overflow
Be sweet and kind
And keep this thought in mind
While you think it over
Great loves from little friendships grow, so
Please don't say: No, say: Maybe
And though I wish you'd confess
Right now I'd settle for less
Because in time, baby
You'll wind up saying: Yes
(Say: Yes) I'm dying to hear it
(Say: Yes) I wanna hear you okay it
Don't say: No, say: Yes, yes, yes
I'm dying to hear it
Never say: No, at least say: Maybe
Oh won't you baby?
If you confess right now I'd settle for less
Because you know that
You're not getting any younger
Let's not wait till you're from hunger
Maybe, maybe, baby, baby
Doo-doo doo da-da
Maybe, maybe, baby
Don't say: No
