No you can't
No you won’t
No you didn’t
No you shan’t
No you dont
- snd good riddance!!
I said NO
Shoot from the other foot
It’s like stop snd go
Balance in everything
Including yes and no!
Try a bit of right and wrong
Humility- reflection
Get out of a rut - am-bi-dex-ter-ous
Keep a flexible direction
So many times I’ve said the word ( yes)
To let go with the flow
But now’s the time to switch it round ( yeah honey )
Listen up yeah- I said ‘No’
I sad ‘No’ to trouble
- to your stance
- to your sneering
- to that glance
- to your wheedling
to not seeking my reply
I said ‘No’
that’s why

There is a lot of power in these lyrics, nice write and I like the bullet list approach in a song, cool idea.

Love the attitude and self-assurance! The word "no" can be so empowering to say, even when it's also terrifying. Great take on the prompt!

Very singable lyrics! They flow so easily off the tongue. A great "Hit the bricks! I'm taking my life back" song in the making!

This sings right off the page! Excellent writing and a wonderful take on the prompt!

Some attitude coming through here, well done. No can be a very hard word to say sometimes, but I feel like you've summed up your strength in this lyric. I loved the last two lines, reminds me of when I talk to my teenage son sometimes. Superb stuff

I like the rhythm in your lyric, it has a nice metrical feel to it. And the power in the statement in "I said, 'No'" is unmistakable. I like the additional phrases on the end of some of the lines, too. I could hear it sung as a response while reading.

I like how much rhythm there is in the words, and how forceful they are. It flashed me back to my favorite Electric Company song, Couldn't Wouldn't Can't Won't is that all you can say....Also like that word shan't, and ambidextrous as a stepping stone rhyme between reflection and direction. Hope the music eventually finds its way to these words. (And that you and your YOU work it out.)
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
This is nice and concise with a lot of pointed attitude! I like the punchy lines! Well done!
