Just Say No
By Matthew Kalliman
Proverbs 1-2; Exodus 23:2
You know temptation comes in many different ways
But, oh, the pleasure isn’t worth the price you must pay
So when temptation comes, just say no!
Your mama told you not to touch the hot frying pan
You’re gonna burn your fingers if you don’t understand
So when temptation comes, just say no!
Don’t throw your life away
’Cause that’s the price you’ll pay
Just say no!
The leader leads the sheep, they follow anywhere
He leads them to the slaughter and they don’t even care
But when temptation comes, just say no!
Do not be led astray
Just turn the other way
And say no!
CHORUS
Just say no! Just say no!
Just say no! Just say no!

Some kids are smoking and drinking, addicted to drugs
And having sex whenever they choose
They’re really burning their brains and they’re breaking their bodies
In the end their lives they will lose
You know temptation comes in many different ways
But, oh, the pleasure isn’t worth the price you must pay
So when temptation comes, just say no!
When someone tries to sway you
You’ll know what to say
Just say no!

CHORUS
Bridge
Because the wrong kind of music, the wrong kind of movies
And the "be cool" message they send
Will make the drug-smoking, free-loving crowd seem like fun
But they destroy their lives in the end
Your mama told you not to touch the hot frying pan
You’re gonna burn your fingers if you don’t understand
So when temptation comes, just say no!
Don’t throw your life away
’Cause that’s the price you’ll pay
Do not be led astray
Just turn the other way
If someone tries to sway you
You’ll know what to say
Just say no!
