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
