V1.
You’re playing hard to get,
But I ain’t done trying yet
Some guy must have left you feelin’ bitter
Yeah, it might take some time
But, I’m gonna change your mind
Bet you can see by now I ain’t a quitter
I’ll  play this slow, and hang out for the show
‘Cos you had me at hell no.

Chorus
You could have said “yeah, maybe.”
Or left a number that wouldn’t dial
Maybe you wish I’d get lost,
But I didn’t get that fromyour smile.
You might have only wanted 
To see how far I’d go….
But I’ve got to tell you baby
You had me at hell no.

V2. 
I don’t mind putting in the work
I ain’t trying to be a jerk
I’d just like to get to know you better
Your drinks will all be free
So give me a chance to see
The heart that you’re hiding ‘neath that sweater
I just gotta know, how this story’s gonna go
‘Cos you had me at hell no.

Chorus
You could have said “yeah, maybe.”
Or left a number that wouldn’t dial
Maybe you wish I’d get lost,
But I didn’t get that from your smile.
You might have only wanted 
To see how far I’d go….
But I’ve got to tell you baby
You had me at hell no.

Bridge
So come on and take a chance
Maybe even have a dance
Take a shot and go with the flow
‘Cos you had me at hell no.

Chorus
You could have said “yeah, maybe.”
Or left a number that wouldn’t dial
Maybe you wish I’d get lost,
But I didn’t get that from your smile.
You might have only wanted 
To see how far I’d go….
But I’ve got to tell you baby
You had me at hell no.

Bridge
So come on and take a chance
Maybe even have a dance
Take a shot and go with the flow
‘Cos you had me at hell no.
