Never Tell A Woman Yes Lyrics - Present (remastered + Bonus Tracks) - Monkees

Oh my, my, my- 

In a dusty caravan 

Was a girl with a golden tan 

And she asked me if I was headed to the east 

I politely stepped a side and said I did not need a ride 

That I'd rather take my chances with the heat 

Well, when she turned and walked away 

I saw my big mistake 

There were jewels on her body oh-so-rare 

Had it been another day I just might have rode away 

With that woman riding off to God-knows-where 

So the years they came and went 

And found me living in a tent 

Far above a little marble stream 

And it may have been the light that shone out through the night 

That attracted the hand scratching on my screen 

When I cautiously looked out through the night 

There was no doubt 

That the owner of that hand was that girl 

So I bid her do come in 

And I'll open up a tin 

If you'll tell me 'bout your trip around the world 

Well, she said,"If you think back 

To the first time that we passed 

I'm sure you'll picture me in all my jewles 

It was shortly after then that I ran into another man 

And I asked him the same question I asked you 

But now he he didn't refuse 

And he took off of both his shoes 

And climbed abord mu east-bound caravan 

In the twinkling of the night 

He knocked me off the side 

And left me there for dead upon the sand 

And I thought I was done 

Lying naked in the sun 

When much to my surprise, who should pass? 

But this old friend of yours 

He said he knew you from the wars 

And I told him that I thought you'd headed west 

Well, he said he should have known 

'Cause you like to be alone 

And that's the time I knew you were my one 

So I asked him for a ride 

Just to get here by your side 

And stay here above this stream 

Out of the sun" 

Well, we sat quite for a while 

And I began to smile 

Well it's strange but I don't care 

And some nights when I'm at rest 

I wonder if I'd said, "yes" 

Would she have come to me from God knows where 

Or would I have been the one to leave her lying in the sun 

And then ended up with only precious stones 

Or would the woman in my arms be giving me her charms 

If the answer that I gave her wasn't "no"
