Do you love me?
Do you want to be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be
Afraid to take me by the hand -
If you want to.
I think this is how love goes.
Check yes or no.

George Strait

Hey mister can you tell me
Where a man might find a bed
He just grinned and shook my hand
And "no" was all he said.

And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
and she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover

I come home one particular evening
The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?",
I said, "No, can't find no job"
Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent

So long, farewell,
Au revoir, auf wiedersehen.

I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne

Sylvia said...

When I'm drivin' in my car
and a man comes on the radio
and he's tellin' me more and more
useless information
supposed to misfire my imagination.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

Satisfaction ~ Rolling Stones

Sandra Dodd said...

"That may be stretching since it was spoken in the middle of the song." Nah, that's fine.

=================

A Beatles song that sounds like no but is NOT "no":

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans
For Nobody

and one that IS:

You say yes, I say no
You say stop, I say go, go, go

Unknown said...

Well, I'm saved
Like the criminal on the cross!
Praise God! I'm saved,
No more to suffer lost.

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Tell her no, no, no, no
