Here I am
There you are
If you ask me to walk a thousand miles just to be where you are
I can't say no…
If you ask me
If I had a dime, it's yours as well as mine
I'd keep the penny, you know I would and gladly give you the nine

[Hook]
I can't say no
If you ask me
Ooh, ooh, ooh

If you told me tonight to get up
Pack my bags let's go away
I wouldn't even care what my Mommy, what my Daddy might have to say

[Hook]
"Cause I can't say no
If you ask me
Ooh, ooh no!

(You're too beautiful to be. to be)
You know I can't say it, baby no!
(You mean everything to me)
No ifs and no maybe's
No!
(that's why I, that's why I, that's why I, that's why)
You know I can't say it baby

[Hook once again]

Sometimes I get so angry with him
I walk around I pout all day
And the he kisses me and asks me do I love him
In a sweet soft sexy kind of way

[Hook until the end]

Natalie Cole

The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Marie Cole (February 6, 1950-December 31, 2015) was an R&B icon who was primarily active from 1956 until her death in 2015 due to congestive heart failure at age 65. She first rose to success in the mid-‘70s with Inseparable and Natalie and later spawning Grammy-recognized albums like Unforgettable…With Love, which took home Album of the Year.

Cole has nine Grammy Awards out of twenty-one nominations – only a small testament to her legend.
