"I Cain't Say No" is a song from the musical play ''Oklahoma!'' written by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist/librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. In the song Ado Annie Carnes describes her sexual awakening (albeit in highly euphemistic terms) and the conflicts that it brings. One of two female leads, Ado Annie has a pair of principal suitors, a Persian traveling salesman Ali Hakim and the cowboy Will Parker, recently returned from an excursion to Kansas City. She describes to her friend Laurey the attention she is now receiving from men "since she filled out" and her inability to say "no" to their advances. Sample lyrics: :It ain't so much a question of not knowing what to do. :I knowed what's right and wrong since I was ten. :I heared a lot of stories and I reckon they are true :About how girls're put upon by men. :I know I mustn't fall into the pit :But when I'm with a feller, :I fergit! :I'm just a girl who cain't say no :I'm in a terrible fix :I always say "come on, let's go!" :Jist when I orta say nix... ==See also== *"All Er Nuthin'", near the end of the musical where Will extracts a promise of fidelity from Annie, and vice versa. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Cain't Say No」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
