"The Answer's Still No" is odd, in that it's one of my favorite songs that I've written, but it seems to get lost in the shuffle, as I almost never perform it live.         -Steve H.

1. All of my letters / and telephone calls / won't put back together / what I've torn apart
And the two dozen roses / got me nowhere at all / she won't forgive me / for breakin' her heart
I've tried everything I can to convince her / 'cause, you know, I still love her so
Yes, I still miss her / but she still won't listen
She's still in Houston / and the answer's still no

2. How could I ever / have treated her wrong / that's the one question / I ain't answered yet
Lord knows, I hurt her / too much for too long / now she won't forgive me  / and she can't forget
I've tried everything I can to convince her / 'cause, you know, I still love her so
Yes, I still miss her / but she still won't listen
She's still in Houston / and the answer's still no

chorus: The answer's still no / she's told me so
Time after time after time
She's changed all her locks / and her telephone number
She changed everything but her mind

I've tried everything I can to convince her / 'cause, you know, I still love her so
Yes, I still miss her / but she still won't listen
She's still in Houston / and the answer's still no
She's still in houston / and the answer's still no.
