Klender - The Girl That Can't Say No

We were high school sweethearts, as the world watched N.Y. fall
Our lives would change forever, that day I heard the call
While I went off to battle, she fought battles of her own
But her letters kept on coming, while I dreamed of going home

She's still waiting by that window, at the downtown jewelry store
We couldn't buy that diamond ring, cause I went off to war...

She's the girl that can't say no
She's the girl that can't say no

In a flash of noise and smoke, everything went wrong
They dragged me from the battlefield, they said, a part of me was gone
She could never love me now, I'll never be the same
I'm not her football hero, she doesn't need this pain

Please tell her for me, brother, I ain't never coming home
She should find another, she needs to let me go...but

She's the girl that can't say no
She's the girl that can't say no
She had every reason to go
She's the girl that can't say no

When I woke up at Walter Reed, I saw my angel in her favorite dress
Then she pulled out that diamond ring, said "Baby, you're my hero"...
Put it on, and said "yes"

She's the girl that can't say no
She's the girl that can't say no
She had every reason to go
She's the girl that can't say no
And how I love her so...
She's the girl that can't say no
