[Verse 1]
Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop? Where do you dare me to draw the line?
You've got the body now you want my soul
Don't even think about it, say no go

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to
Yeah, I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
But I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

[Verse 2]
I can go for being twice as nice
I can go for just repeating the same old lines
Used the body, now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it now, say no go

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to
Yeah, I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
But I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, yeah

[Sax Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to
Yeah, I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
But I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that, no (No)
No can do, I can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, yeah

[Bridge]
No, I can't go, no (I can't go for that, no, no, no, no, no)
I can't go for that, no, no, no (I can't go for that)
I can't go, I can't go
No, I can't go for that, no
No can do

[Outro]

(I can't go for that, no, no, no, no, no)
(I can't go for that, no can do)
Forget about it, no, forget about it
No go, no go, no go (I can't go for that)
Can't go for that, yeah (No can do)
Forget about it, no, forget about it
No go, no go, no go (I can't go for that)

No can do (No can do)

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
