You Can't Brush Me Off - Dinah Shore, Dick Todd's Orchestra, Ирвинг Берлин

Why don’t you just give in?

Just like a Siamese twin

I mean to stick to you

Until you do I won’t take it on the chin

You’ll never leave me flat

I’m not a «last year’s hat»

That you can cast aside

I’ve got my pride

And I won’t stand for that

You can’t brush me off

As you would a speck of powder, you may try

But you can’t brush me off

You can’t shout me down

You can yell but I’ll yell louder, you can try

But you can’t brush me off

You can say you’re out but I’ll keep phoning

You can tell me goodbye

You can tell me but I Won’t go No You can’t leave me cold

As you would a plate of chowder, you may try

But you can’t brush me off

What is this all about?

You’ve got me wrong, no doubt

I give you all my time

Believe me, I’m

Not looking for some way out

I want you for my wife

Sharing my care and strife

And that may not be fun

For when it’s done

You’re stuck with me for life

You can’t brush me off

As you would a fresh mosquito, you may try

But you can’t brush me off

You can’t rub me out

Like a spot on my tuxedo, you may try

But you can’t brush me off

You can cut me dead but I won’t mind it You may injure my pride

Still I’ll never decide

To go No

You can’t drop me fast

As you would a live torpedo, you may try

But you can’t brush me off

You can’t brush me off

Like a colored pullman porter, you may try

But you can’t brush me off

You can’t lock me out

Like a frightened farmer’s daughter, you may try

But you can’t brush me off

You can drop a hint but I won’t take it You can tell me bad news

I intend to refuse

To go No

You can’t give me back

As you would a leaded quarter, you may try

But you can’t brush me off
