Why Can't He Be You

Diane Schuur


He takes me to the places
You and I used to go
He tells me over and over
That he loves me so

He gives me love
That I never got from you
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you?

He never fails to call and tell me
I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy
I hear it all the time

And he does all the things
That you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you?

He is not the one
Who dominates my mind and soul
And I should love him so
'Cause he loves me, I know
But his kisses leave me cold

He sends me flowers, calls on the hour
Just to prove his love
And my friends say when he's around
I'm all he speaks of

And he does all the things
That you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you?
