[Verse 1]
I broke through your defenses
I just couldn't leave you alone
With those feelings very deep in your heart
Like diamonds, all covered with stone
I saw you in my future
But you said the future had passed
You didn't make it easy at all
Ooh, but darling, I made it al last
[Chorus]
'Cause I never took "no" for an answer
Love was the answer for me
I never took "no" for an answer
I got what I wanted, I made you believe
[Verse 2]
And I broke through your defenses
And ooh, what a tender surprise
Those feelings very deep in your heart
Now they're rising like stars in your eyes
[Chorus]
'Cause I never took "no" for an answer
Love was the answer for me
I never took "no" for an answer
Got what I wanted, I got what I need
[Bridge]
Even though you kept on refusin'
Even when I thought I was losin'
No, I wouldn't give up, I couldn't give up
I wouldn't give up, I couldn't give up
I wouldn't give up, I couldn't give up
No, never...!
[Chorus]
Never took "no" for an answer
Love was the answer for me
I never took "no" for an answer
I got what I wanted, got what I need
[Bridge]
Never, never, no no no no, take "no" for an answer
Never, never, no no no no, take "no" for an answer
[Chorus]
Oh, I never took "no" for an answer
Love was the answer for me
I never took "no" for an answer
I got what I wanted, I got what I need
[Outro]
Even though you kept on refusin'
Even when I thought I was losin'
No, I wouldn't give up, I couldn't give up
I wouldn't give up, I couldn't give up
Never, never took "no" for an answer
Love was the answer, answer for me
Never took "no" for an answer
I got what I wanted, I got what I need...
