(Words & music by Pomus - Shuman)
Look out now I´m runnin´ wild
There ain´t no holding back this child

I guess you´d say I´m a son of a gun
Livin´ just for a life of fun
Here´s the secret of my success
Never say yes. No, no, never say yes

Life has taught me one big lesson
Always keep the girlies guessin´
Tell ´em that you love them so
You hate to leave but you gotta go
That´s the secret of my success
Never say yes. No, no, never say yes

It´s the oldest scheme in the world
And you gotta know how to play it
Tell her yes in so many ways
And never ever say it
That´s how I keep goin´ on
Here today tomorrow gone

That´s the kind of life for me
Being free like I want to be
Here´s the secret of my success
Never say yes. No, no, never say yes

It´s the oldest scheme in the world
And you gotta know how to play it
Tell her yes in so many ways
And never ever say it
That´s how I keep goin´ on
Here today tomorrow gone
That´s the kind of life for me
Being free like I want to be
Here´s the secret of my success
Never say yes. No, no, never say yes
No, no, never say yes
