“Don’t Tell Me No” by The Cars
It’s my party, you can come
It’s my party, have some fun
It’s my dream, have a laugh
It’s my life, have a half, well
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no
I like it when you tell me slow
It’s my transition, it’s my play
It’s my phone call to beta ray
It’s my hopscotch, light the torch
It’s my downtime, feel the scorch, well
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no, no
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no, no
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no
I like it when you tell me no
It’s my ambition, it’s my joke
It’s my teardrop, emotional smoke
It’s my mercy, it’s my plan
I want to go to future land, well
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no no no
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no
I like it when you tell me slow
Don’t tell me no … tell me no… don’t tell me no no
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no … don’t tell me, I don’t want to know
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no no
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no no no, ay
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me… don’t tell me… don’t tell me no no
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me… don’t tell me you have to go… don’t tell me no
(Don’t tell me no)
Don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no
Hey Donna….just an observation. I’m pretty sure in the 2nd chorus, Benjamin is singing “I don’t like it when you tell me no”. I’ve listened to this song over & over & over!

Hm… I listened again with headphones, and I slowed it down, too, and I don’t hear the “don’t”, I just hear him say, “I like it when you tell me no.” Do I have the right chorus? Right before he says, “It’s my ambition…?”

It’s very subtle, like so many of the words Benjamin sings. And really? What man likes it when you tell him no? LOL
