I Can’t Go for That Lyrics

[Intro]
I-I-I-I
I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah

[Verse 1]
Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop? Where do you dare me to draw the line?
Here's the body now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it now, say no go

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah
I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
But I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

[Verse 2]
I can't go for being twice as nice
I can't go on for just repeating the same old line
Here's the body now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it now, say no go
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah
I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
But I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no no, no can do
I can't go for that, no no no no no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no no no, no can do
I can't go for that, oh no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

[Verse 3]
Jumped into your L-O-V-E just like a swimming pool
Head first to quench for thirst but ended up the fool
Stay cool I wish that I could
But I can't so I shan't
Keep giving it all that I got to give
And that's a hell of a lot of a plan
Why can't you see that I'm the man?
Our love that coulda been greater
But a mistake is what you made
My cuisine, you're dissin' the plate
Never the giver just the taker
Take a listen to the fact, in fact
Can't go for that
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah
I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go
Baby, I can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Baby, I can't go, oh baby, no can do

I can't go for that, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
