Right after high school just before university
When we broke up but you were still hooking up with me
I said "stop rationalizing every little thing I say
I want to be together, I don't care if you're far away"
But you said

No way Jose
No way Jose
That's what she say
No way Jose

I bumped into your boyfriend
On the Yonge St subway train
I said "I gotta see her
She left her textbooks at my place
I been tryna call her
I guess she lost her phone
Can I get her new number"
But he said "ah, ah no you don't"
He said

No way Jose
No way Jose
That's what he say
No way Jose

I bet she'd look beautiful with me tonight
So I had to try it baby one more time
Cause there's no predicting when my luck could change
And she won't say, and she won't say

No...

I thought you'd like me if I tried out for the team
I tried basketball and karate but they just laughed at me
And you're so faraway, so cold and out of reach
I know I'm a short little shit but I can always find my feet
When you say

No way Jose
No way Jose
That's what you say
No way Jose

I bet she'd look beautiful with me tonight
So I had to try it baby one more time
Cause there's no predicting when my luck could change
And she won't say, and she won't say

No...
