My dad taught me

The one thing my dad taught me
Was how to say no
I have seen him do it every single time
And he would be fine

The one thing my dad taught me
Was how to say no
He said it to the salesman at the door
And on the phone once more

The one thing my dad taught me
Was how to say no
Not to be persuaded by my peers
Or give in to my fears

The one thing my dad taught me
Was how to say no
When someone had gone too far and hurt me
And they wouldn't see

The one thing my dad taught me
Was how to say no
Even when I am asked by a friend
"Do you need a hand?"

The one thing my dad taught me
Was how to say no
"No, it wasn't your fault, it was mine
It was I who crossed the line"

That one thing my dad taught me
So quickly said
And so easily accepted
So no one would see I am affected

Dad, I know what you taught me
And it is very useful
But Mom, this question is for you:
Will you teach me to say yes too?
