written by Thomas McGuane & Warren Zevon 1982 Zevon music BMI I had a little girl, now We crossed the state line It was more than just an overdraft We were looking at time If I do say so I can't let go And I don't take no for an answer If I do say so I can't let go And I don't take no for an answer We had to leave in a hurry, now No time to hesitate It was worse than misunderstanding I had to ask her not to call it fate If I do say so I can't let go And I don't take no for an answer If I do say so I can't let go And I don't take no for an answer No one sleeps on the yellow line No one's that alone Someone's in the window So don't try to use the phone We're just up against it We turned up in the zone If you ever get an overdraft You'll never make it home If I do say so I can't let go And I don't take no for an answer If I do say so I can't let go And I don't take no for an answer If I do say so I can't let go And I don't take no for an answer If I do say so I can't let go And I don't take no for an answer
