Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh, uh-huh, uh, uh-huh, uh-uh, uh

I said yes to your number and yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together, but you gotta wait for me
The first time I say: No: It's like I never said: Yes
(It's like I never said: Yes)
I said: Yes, we can be together, yes, you can stay with me
But when I say: No, not tonight, you actin' so ungratefully
The first time I say: No, it's like I never said: Yes
(It's like I never said: Yes)

You was on the wall, I was with my crew
You was watchin' me, baby, I was watchin' you
Slowly, you walked over, I maintained my cool
You said hello to me, I said hello to you
You asked me where I'm from, I asked you what you do
You somehow intrigued me, I thought you were so cool
Somewhere between hi and goodbye, I felt so comfortable
I felt like we could talk all night, so I gave my number to you

I said yes to your number and yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together, but you gotta wait for me
The first time I say: No, it's like I never said: Yes
(It's like I never said: Yes)
I said: Yes, we can be together, yes, you can stay with me
But when I say: No, not tonight, you actin' so ungratefully
The first time I say: No, it's like I never said, yes
(It's like I never said: Yes)

Certainly, you can call me, baby
I love to hear from you
Yes, of course, you can come and see me, boy
Wanna get to know you more, sure, I'm feelin' you
No, baby, not yet, we can't take that next step
Why you getting so upset?
Boy, you act as though I never told you: Yes: Before
You are so ungrateful, mm-mm-mm

You was at my house, I was sittin' on my couch
You was really buggin', so I told you to get out
I had been misjudging you, you had a lot of nerve
You too damn old to be so immature, I hope you learn
You said I move too slow, I showed you to the door
You said you'd call me later, I said: Don't call no more
It is cool if you can't wait for me, I'm glad you let me know
'Cause you showed me your true face, baby, the first time I said: No

I said yes to your number and yes to you dating me (yes)
Yes, we can be together, but you gotta wait for me (Ooh, uh-uh)
The first time I say: No, it's like I never said: Yes
(It's like I never said: Yes)
Ooh, I said: Yes, we can be together, yes, you can stay with me
But when I say: No, not tonight,: You actin' so ungratefully
The first time I say: No (the very first time I say: No) it's like I never said: Yes
(It's like I never said: Yes, I never, never said: Yes before)

I said yes to your number and yes to you dating me
Yes, we can be together, but you gotta wait for me
The first time I say: No: It's like I never said: Yes
(It's like I never said: Yes)
