Can't Tell You No
Muscadine Bloodline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can tell you
You took a little longer with your make up
I can tell you, when you wake up
You don′t need to do a thing

Oh I can tell you
Who's last standing on the bachelor
Oh I can tell you, there′ll be laughter
From my buddies making fun of me

I got no problem staying in
Don't mind blowing off my friends
Now and then
It's like I don′t even wanna go
When you look at me that way
There′s that one word I can't say
Girl I know you know
I can′t tell you no

Oh I can tell you
You wanna dance slow in the kitchen
So I can tell you that you're fixing
To see my two right or two left feet

′Cause I got no problem staying in
Don't mind blowing off my friends
Now and then
It′s like I don't even wanna go
When you look at me that way
There's that one word I can′t say
Girl I know you know
I can′t tell you no

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever you listen to (I)
Wherever you wanna go (can't tell)
Girl you already know (you no)
Whatever you wanna do
Whatever you listen to
Wherever you wanna go
Girl you already know

I got no problem staying in
Don′t mind blowing off my friends
Now and then
It's like I don′t even wanna go
When you look at me that way
There's that one word I can′t say
Girl I know you know
I can't tell you no





Oh I can't tell you no
Oh I can′t tell you no

Hi this is the girl who sung into your mic and held your hand and you gave me a hug 2 years ago at the camp in popular bluff ❤ it was the best night of my life and thank you so much

@becausehelivesministryintl6841

It's good to hear some real moving songs these days. These guys need to be heard all over. My granddaughters sing this song for me it was great.

@Irishjay1025

My addiction to your music started with Porchswing Angel, every song hits me just as hard as the first.

@jlittlejohn25

Added to my wedding playlist for the wedding I’m not having 😂

@sillysammy1214

Omg! Yes! I was never a country music person and neither is my girl but I started an "I Like You" playlist when we first started dating. It consists of mainly country love songs😂 I definitely am making my wedding playlist the same way. My friends are going to kill me lmao. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in finding your puzzle piece to share these songs with. I never thought I'd find love again and we are going on a year in about 2 months and just moved in together. Have a great life!

@CraigDavidII
