[Intro] No! No! (Yeah!) Finally a no! (Oh-oh-oh!) [Verse 1] I asked, I dared, I said the question out loud, And the answer was a no – short, clear, and I'm still proud. My heart skipped a beat, I took a breath so deep, I'm still standing here, I'm smiling – and that's a win I keep. [Pre-Chorus] Everybody says: "Oh no, a no!" – I say: "Oh yeah!" I asked the question – so I was there! [Chorus] Finally a no – oh-oh-oh! Thank you for your no – now I know! Every no is a sign that shows me where to go, Finally a no – I dared, and now I grow! [Post-Chorus] No, no! (Yeah, yeah!) No, no! (Thank you, thank you!) No, no! (Yeah, yeah!) Finally a no! [Verse 2] Anyone can carry a yes, a yes is light and sweet, But the one who carries a no can stand up in the heat. I count my no's like steps, each one lifts me higher still, And somewhere at the top a yes is waiting – and it will. [Chorus] Finally a no – oh-oh-oh! Thank you for your no – now I know! Every no is a sign that shows me where to go, Finally a no – I dared, and now I grow! [Breakdown] Who asked? – I asked! Who dared? – I dared! Who's still here? – I'm still here! Then onward – right now, right here! No! (Thank you!) No! (Thank you!) No! (Thank you!) No! [Bridge] It's not the end, it's just a signpost on the road: Not this door – the next one, and that one's not closed. Get up, ask again, the answer doesn't matter, It's a no – and I'll ask again, I'll climb that ladder. [Chorus] Finally a no – oh-oh-oh! Thank you for your no – now I know! Every no is a sign that shows me where to go, Finally a no – I dared, and now I grow! [Outro] No, no! (Yeah, yeah!) No, no! (Thank you, thank you!) Finally a no! (Oh-oh-oh!) Finally a no!
