Making me an offer you say I can’t refuse
Seems like a no-win no matter how I choose
You’re giving me no time to think it all through
But if you rush me, know what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna have to say, I’m gonna have to take a hard pass
Put me on the clock and then you want me to move
It’s too much pressure, what are you trying to prove?
Keep it up my friend, and you’re bound to lose
Try to read the room, pick up the social cues
I’m gonna have to say, I’m gonna have to take a hard pass
I’m gonna have to take, I’m gonna have to say… hard pass
It’s just a turn of a phrase, there’s nothing hard about it
Find another way, you’re gonna have to do without it
Put me under the gun, but you’re firing blanks
I’ve given it some thought, thanks but no thanks
I’m gonna have to say, I’m gonna have to take a hard pass
I’m gonna have to take, I’m gonna have to say… hard pass
I’m gonna have to say, I’m gonna have to take a hard pass
I’m gonna have to take, I’m gonna have to say… hard pass

Straightforward & clean. Classic arrangements that strike me - dare I say - Beatle-esque. Not overproduced. Eytan’s signature if you will ;<) @dutchmn007
