I Couldn't Say No - Petra Berger, Пётр Ильич Чайковский

Life without a care

Innocence to spare

Feeling free, secretly

Dreaming my dreams

Far too soon the day

Vowed my life away

To the man I’ll obey

If I can, and I’m

Hopefully doing the family proud

The greatest man of France

Asking me to dance

Can’t resist, can’t ignore

Dreams coming true

Letter signed with «N»

Begging me again to be with him

Tonight, should I give in

He’s taken my body and shattered my pride

His carriage is ready and waiting outside

Will you admit you were with him last night?

I did what I did

And believed it was right

Will you confess that your morals are low?

I only said yes

'cause I couldn’t say no

.couldn't say no.

I couldn’t put up a fight

The nation was saved overnight

Is it for the people or me —

That — I cry

Life beyond a dream

No more self-esteem

The battle’s won, the war is lost,

Lost with my love

The dove will fly away

Hoping that one day,

I"ll be back with him

Can I keep track with him

Gave him my love, but

I can’t be his wife

You’ll be the one who is exiled for life

Will you admit you were with him last night?

I did what I did

And believed it was right

Will you confess that your morals are low?

I only said yes

'cause I couldn’t say no

.couldn't say no.
