Nó
Dodie Stevens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Hey baby, won't you give me a kiss?)
I said no
(Just a little kiss you never will miss)
Just plain no
(Why do you torture me like this)
Don't you understand English?
(There's a lot of huggin' I gotta do)
N-O, No
(And I wanna do my huggin' with you)
Please let go
(Come a little closer, baby)
Of my hand
(Why do you treat me like you do?)
Every time I let you kiss me, kiss me
My heart goes on a roller coaster ride
And every time I let you kiss me, kiss me
I get the little butterflys inside me
No
(There's a lot of huggin' I gotta do)
Uh-uh, no
(And I wanna do my huggin' with you)
Please let go
(Come a little closer, baby)
Of my hand
(Why do you treat me like you do?)
Oh
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-ee)
Must you go
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-ee)
Don't you know
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
That a girl means yes, when she says
No
(Got another number I'm gonna call)
N-O, No
(In an hour I'll be having a ball)
Don't let go
(Guess I'll stay here after all)
When I say no
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-ee)
Don't let go
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-ee)
Don't let go
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-ee)
Don't let go
The song "No" by Dodie Stevens is a fun, upbeat tune about a girl who is being pressured by a boy to give him a kiss, but she firmly says "No." The girl is frustrated by the boy's persistence and asks him why he can't understand the word "no" in English. She just wants to enjoy a night of hugging with him, but only if he respects her boundaries. Every time the boy tries to kiss her, she gets butterflies in her stomach, but she still stands her ground and says no.
The catchy chorus of "no, N-O, no" emphasizes the importance of respecting someone's boundaries and saying no when you don't want to do something. The song also sends a message that just because a girl says no, it doesn't mean that she doesn't like the boy or that she won't change her mind in the future.
Overall, "No" is a lighthearted song that tackles the issue of consent in a playful way. It encourages listeners to respect each other's boundaries and shows that it's okay to say no to something you're not comfortable with.
