Why Can't Be Lovers

Baby

Why can't we be lovers?

Oh, darling, from loving you

I'll never recover

Baby

Why can't we be lovers?

Sometimes I feel like

There's no use in tryin'

Why can't I face the fact

We've lost what we'll never get back?

I don't know where

Where did we go wrong?

I say I'm leaving, but

My feelings are too strong

And, baby, you know, I'm in love, baby

So in love with you, darling

And I'll never be leavin'

It's just I'm make-believing

I ain't going nowhere

No, I ain't going nowhere

It's just make-believin'

Boy, you're a

Habit I can't break

I'd fall apart if you

Weren't there when I awake

I thought of leaving

But I don't have the heart

I can't picture it, babe

You and I being apart

And if I say goodbye

It doesn't mean I'm going

And if I say there ain't no love

You might still see it showing, oh, oh

Baby

Why can't we be lovers?

Oh, darlin', (darlin') from loving you

I'll never recover

Baby

Why can't we be lovers?

Oh, darlin', from loving you

I'll never recover

'Cause I'm in love

(I'm in love)

So in love

(So in love)

And I'll never be leaving

Boy, it's just I'm make-believing

Baby

Why can't we be lovers?

Oh, darlin', from loving you

I'll never recover

And if I say goodbye

Doesn't mean I'm going

And if I say there ain't no love

You might still see it showing, oh, oh

Baby

Why can't we be lovers?

Oh, darlin', from loving you

I'll never recover

Baby

Why can't we be lovers?

Oh, darlin', from loving you

I'll never recover

'Cause I'm in love

(I'm in love)

So in love, (so in love)

And I'll never be leaving

Boy, it's just I'm make-believing
