I sit and watch your flowers wilting in the kitchen
I felt like I was one of them gasping for air
I go from room to room hoping to find your presence
I play my music louder than you'd like me to
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without
I want to get you in, yeah yeah
Can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in
And when I lock you out, I want to get you
Let you, get you in
I know that maybe you are going through a hard time
But what you need to recognize, I'm in one too
You say that maybe we should take some time apart but
You go your way, I'll get by, and you'll go get high, you just see if I mind
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without
I want to get you in, yeah yeah
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in
And when I lock you out, I want to get you
Let you, get you in
Well, I could be wrong, I don't even know myself
Well, I must be strong when you're gone so long
I don't need to know reasons why
What I wouldn't do for you
What I wouldn't do for you
What I wouldn't do for you
What I wouldn't do for you
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
'Cause when I feel without
I want to get you in, yeah yeah
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in
And when I lock you out, I want to let you
Get you, get you in
I wanna get you in
I wanna get you in
I wanna get you in
And all I wanna get you in
What I wouldn't do for you
What I wouldn't do for you
What I wouldn't do for you
