I Won't Say I Will (But I Won't Say I Won't)

DE SYLVA, B G, GERSHWIN, GEORGE, IRA

You're a very naughty boy
When you ask me for a kiss,
I'm dismayed-
A little bit afraid.
Now, holding hands is quite a joy
For a truly modest miss
It should do
Just as well for you.
I am not refusing you, dear
Let me make this perfectly clear:

Refrain 1

I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't!
I don't say I do, but I don't say I don't!
Kissing of any kind
Never was on my mind.
Maybe I can arrange it-
It's my mind, and I can change it.
I might say I might, but modesty forbids
That's the reason why I don't!
So you mustn't be cross at a little delay:
You ought to know Rome wasn't built in a day!
I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't!

Refrain 2

I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't!
I don't say I do, but I don't say I don't!
Maybe it's just my way
Maybe I'm cold - but, say!
Although my glance like ice is-
How I warm up in a crisis!
I might say I might, but modesty forbids
That's the reason why I don't!
You'd have taken your kiss if you had any cheek-
Maybe I'd scream, but my voice is so weak!
I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't!
