[Intro] No! No! (Yeah!) Finally said no! (Oh-oh-oh!) [Verse 1] I said yes so many times when all I meant was no, Smiled and nodded while my calendar was crying, though. Then the question came again – "Can you do it quick?" – I took a breath so deep, And for the first time said: "No." – and that's a win I keep. [Pre-Chorus] Everybody says: "Oh no, you can't do that!" – I say: "Oh yeah!" My no is a yes to me – and I'm right here! [Chorus] Finally said no – oh-oh-oh! Finally said no – and now I know! Every no I give outside is a yes deep inside, Finally said no – now I'm on my side! [Post-Chorus] No, no! (Yeah, yeah!) No, no! (For me, for me!) No, no! (Yeah, yeah!) Finally said no! [Verse 2] A no is not a wall, a no is just a fence, Behind it grows my garden – and that finally makes sense. If you say yes to everything, nothing's clear anymore, My no makes every yes I give mean more than before. [Chorus] Finally said no – oh-oh-oh! Finally said no – and now I know! Every no I give outside is a yes deep inside, Finally said no – now I'm on my side! [Breakdown] Who said no? – I said no! Who dared? – I dared! Who's still here? – I'm still here! Then onward – right now, right here! No! (For me!) No! (For me!) No! (For me!) No! [Bridge] It's not against you, it's for me – and that's allowed, An honest no beats a tired yes in a crowd. Get up, say it loud, with a smile and with some nerve, It's a no – and it feels good, it's what I deserve. [Chorus] Finally said no – oh-oh-oh! Finally said no – and now I know! Every no I give outside is a yes deep inside, Finally said no – now I'm on my side! [Outro] No, no! (Yeah, yeah!) No, no! (For me, for me!) Finally said no! (Oh-oh-oh!) Finally said no!
