Why Can't I
I've fallen off the world
My killer is a girl
Why can't she be mine
And if I wanted more
Like all the lover boys
Why can't she be mine
Wait, watch, listen
How you gonna say it
Who you gonna be
What's she gonna do
And even if you get a chance you'll see
Oh baby girl, common let me be your lover
Oh baby girl
What you gonna do
Do you even know
I hold the door
If it's all the same to you
I think I'll pull you off the floor
Oh baby girl, common let me be your lover
Let me take you home tonight
Let me make you mine all night
And then we wait, watch, listen for the song of morning birds in full delight
Like a Romeo and Juliette before the final flight
(Why can't she be mine)
So close your eyes and we lay for a little longer linger in the light
Of the break of the dawning of the morning of our lives
(Why can't she be mine)
Why can't she be mine
Wait, watch, listen
How you gonna say it
Who you gonna be
What's she gonna do
And even if you get a chance you'll see
Oh baby girl, common let me be your lover
Oh baby girl
What you gonna do
Do you even know
I hold the door
If it's all the same to you
I think I'll pull you off the floor
Oh baby girl, common let me be your lover
Let me take you home tonight
Let me make you mine all night
And then we wait, watch, listen for the song of morning birds in full delight
Like a Romeo and Juliette before the final flight
(Why can't she be mine)
