[Chorus]
Don't you say no tonight (ooh)
Don't you say no tonight (don't you say no, baby)
Don't you say no tonight (don't say it)
Don't you say no tonight (no)

[Verse 1]
After cheesecake with all of your friends and family
Who's gonna front the bill? Me
Valet your gator at the club, plus buy you drinks
Who gon' show you love? Me
Spend lots of money wining and dining in expensive suites
Compliments of who? Me
Open doors, take you to the movies, treat you like a beauty queen
Now it's time to please me

[Chorus]
Don't you say no tonight (don't)
Don't you say no tonight (don't you say no, babe)
Don't you say no tonight (mmm)
Don't you say no tonight ('cause I'm ready to go)

[Verse 2]
Always dropping you off at the beauty shop
Who's gonna pick you up? Me
I be's there, nigga you can call on around the clock
Who gon' be that thug? Me
Took you shopping down in Cancun first class
Who gon' keep you frost? Me
Buying flowers, acting like we lovebirds
All I wanna hear right now is you saying the yes word

[Chorus]
Don't you say no tonight (no)
Don't you say no tonight (don't you say no)
Don't you say no tonight (not tonight)
Don't you say no tonight (not when I'm ready to go)

[Bridge]
Baby say the words I want hear
This can be kept between me and you
Baby give me something I can feel
I've waited long enough

[Chorus]
Don't you say no tonight (don't say)
Don't you say no tonight (don't you say no, baby)
Don't you say no tonight (not right now)
Don't you say no tonight (not tonight)

[Bridge 2]
(I been doing these things for you, now what you gon' do for me?)
I ain't trying to spend no cash if you ain't spending that ass, no
(I been doing these thing for you, now what you gon' do for me?)
I ain't going down on you if you ain't going down on me, no
(I been doing these things for you, now what you gon' do for me?)
Say you wanna take first-class trips
Well I wanna work those first-class hips, yes I do
(I been doing these things for you (yeah)
Now what you gon' do for me?)
You wanna ride all in my truck
But you don't wanna let me fuck you

[Chorus]
Don't you say no tonight (don't you say no)
Don't you say no tonight (don't you say no)
Don't you say no tonight (not tonight)
Don't you say no tonight (not when I'm ready to go)
Don't you say no tonight (don't you say)
Don't you say no tonight (don't you say no tonight)
Don't you say no tonight (we're spending all of this time)
Don't you say no tonight (watching these movies)
Don't you say no tonight (if we're not gonna bump and grind)
Don't you say no tonight (I'm gon' get some sleep)

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
