Why Can't It Be

[Verse 1]

You came along, unexpectedly

I was doing fine in my little world

Oh baby please don't get me wrong

'Cause I'm not complaining

But you see, you got my mind spinning

[Chorus]

Why can't it be?

Why can't it be the two of us?

Why can't we be lovers?

Only friends

You came along

At the wrong place, at the wrong time

Or was it me

[Verse 2]

Baby, I dream of you every minute

You're in my dreams

You're always in it

That's the only place I know

Where you could be mine

And I'm yours

Only 'til I wake up

[Chorus]

Why can't it be?

Why can't it be the two of us?

Why can't we be lovers?

Only friends

You came along

At the wrong place, at the wrong time

Or was it me

[Bridge]

That's the only place I know

Where you could be mine

And I'm yours

Only 'til I wake up

[Chorus]

Why can't it be?

Why can't it be the two of us?

Why can't we be lovers?

Only friends

You came along

At the wrong place, at the wrong time

Or was it me

[Outro]

Why can't it be?
