Why Can't We 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.

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', (darlin') from loving you,

I'll never recover.

why can't we be lovers?

(Why can't we be lovers?)

Oh, darlin', 

(from loving you) from loving you,

I'll never recover.

(I'll never, never gonna recover).

Baby,

why can't we be lovers?

(Ooh, let me know, yeah).

Oh, darlin', from loving you,

(tell me, why can't we, 

why can't we be lovers, baby?)

I'll never recover.

'Cause I'm in love,

so in love.

And I'll never be leaving

it's just make-believing.
