"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.
"The Answer's
Still No" appears on the Steve Haggard CD,
Rough Edge.
