[Chorus]
There you go tellin' me no again
There you go (There you go), there you go
I wanna be (No, no, no, no, no) more than just your friend
Don't you know, don't you know
There you go tellin' me no again (Ooh-wee, ooh-wee)
There you go, there you go (Keep tellin' me no, no, baby)
I wanna be more than just your friend
Don't you know, don't you know (Ooh-ooh)
[Verse 1]
Please be mine, oh, girl (I want you, oh, baby)
Because I really, really, really wanna be yours (All to myself)
Every time I ask you, oh, you give me your love
You tell me you're not ready, tell me, girl (You keep tellin' me no)
Why, oh, why do you wanna keep holdin' on
[Chorus]
There you go tellin' me no again
There you go (There you go, there you go, baby), there you go
I wanna be more than just your friend
Don't you know (Mmm, hmm), don't you know (I wanna know, baby)
There you go tellin' me no again (And there you go, girl)
There you go, there you go (Tellin' me things I really don't wanna hear)
I wanna be more than just your friend
Don't you know, don't you know (Oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
I've been searchin' all my life (Searchin')
Oh, baby, and I will, I will find somebody just like you (Somebody-body just like you)
And now that I think my search is over, yeah, baby
Can't you see, can't you see, girl, what I'm goin' through, why
[Chorus]
There you go tellin' me no again
There you go (I know we're supposed to be together), there you go
I wanna be more than just your friend
Don't you know (I wanna be more than just your friend, girl), don't you know
There you go tellin' me no again
There you go (There you go), there you go (There you go, no, no)
I wanna be more than just your friend (Ooh)
Don't you know, don't you know
[Verse 3]
You know sometimes (Sometimes) I start thinkin', girl
How good it would be if you were mine
This sadness (Sadness) fills my whole world
Said you would not, said you know would not be my girl, whoa-ho'
[Chorus]
There you go tellin' me no again (There you go, girl)
There you go (There), there you go (There you go)
I wanna be more than just your friend (Can't you understand)
Don't you know (How much I need you), don't you know
There you go tellin' me no again
There you go (There's nothin' I), there you go
(There's nothin' in the world I would rather have than you, girl)
I wanna be more than just your friend
Don't you know (Don't you know), don't you know (I need to be loved by you, girl)
There you go tellin' me no again (I need to be held by you)
There you go, there you go (I need, I need somebody just like you, girl)
I wanna be more than just your friend (yeah)
Don't you know, don't you know (There you're just tellin' me no, no, no, no, no, no)
[Bridge]
Girl, what would it take
What would it take for me to win your love
What would it take, girl
What can I do, there you go tellin' me no, no, no, no again
[Chorus]
There you go tellin' me no again (There I)
There you go, there you go
I wanna be more than just your friend (I don't know what I'll do if I don't have you)
Don't you know, don't you know (Girl, there you go tellin')
There you go tellin' me no again (Don't tell me no)
There you go (Please), there you go
I wanna be more than just your friend
Don't you know
