Monkees - Never Tell A Woman Yes Lyrics
Oh my, my, my-In a dusty caravanWas a girl with a golden tanAnd she asked me if I was headed to the eastI politely stepped a side and said I did not need a rideThat Id rather take my chances with the heatWell, when she turned and walked awayI saw my big mistakeThere were jewels on her body oh-so-rareHad it been another day I just might have rode awayWith that woman riding off to god-knows-whereSo the years they came and wentAnd found me living in a tentFar above a little marble streamAnd it may have been the light that shone out through the nightThat attracted the hand scratching on my screenWhen I cautiously looked out through the nightThere was no doubtThat the owner of that hand was that girlSo I bid her do come inAnd Ill open up a tinIf youll tell me bout your trip around the worldWell, she said,if you think backTo the first time that we passedIm sure youll picture me in all my jewlesIt was shortly after then that I ran into another manAnd I asked him the same question I asked youBut now he he didnt refuseAnd he took off of both his shoesAnd climbed abord mu east-bound caravanIn the twinkling of the nightHe knocked me off the sideAnd left me there for dead upon the sandAnd I thought I was doneLying ***** in the sunWhen much to my surprise, who should pass?But this old friend of yoursHe said he knew you from the warsAnd I told him that I thought youd headed westWell, he said he should have knowncause you like to be aloneAnd thats the time I knew you were my oneSo I asked him for a rideJust to get here by your sideAnd stay here above this streamOut of the sunWell, we sat quite for a whileAnd I began to smileWell its strange but I dont careAnd some nights when Im at restI wonder if Id said, yesWould she have come to me from God knows whereOr would I have been the one to leave her lying in the sunAnd then ended up with only precious stonesOr would the woman in my arms be giving me her charmsIf the answer that I gave her wasnt no
