"What Part of No" is a song written by Wayne Perry and Gerald Smith, and recorded by American country music artist Lorrie Morgan.
She performed the song on the live telecast of the 11th annual Music City News Country Songwriters Awards.
[2] A woman in a social setting is approached repeatedly by a persistent man who sends her a rose, then buys her a drink and asks her to dance.
The woman, uninterested in the man despite his advances, finally asks "What part of 'no' don't you understand?"
