NO! NOT I. Copyright, by The Temple Music Co. Words by Geo. H. Cate. Music by Lois Read Cate. 
I know a pretty maiden, whose heart is joyous, light and free; Oft I hear her singing, and her voice is full of glee; If you'll lend an ear, this is what you'll hear: Oh, I have a sweetheart, dearly he loves me; Though he has not told me, I have eyes to see; How I love to tease him, love to make him sigh; I'm not had for the asking-No! not not I. 
I love my girlhood's freedom, no silken chains of love for me; I have my own ambitions, and I will not hindered be-I will make it plain, that he sues in vain; Yet I love to see him looking at me so; All his manly beauty seta my heart aglow; To the fateful question I must make reply, I will not surrender-No! not not I. 
And yet 'twas not intended for girls to go through life alone; 'Tis love that makes the world go round, and true it is, I own; I was in the wrong, guess I'll change my song; When he comes a-wooing, noble, strong and true, How can I refuse him. how can I-would your When his love is pleading, can I love deny? I won't hurt his feelings-Not not not I.
