Why Can’t He Be You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
He loves me too
His love is true
But why can't he be you

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
He loves me too
His love is true
But why can't he be you

[Verse 3]
Oh, he's not the one who dominates my mind and my soul
And I should love him so because he loves me, I know
But his kisses leave me cold

[Verse 4]
He sends me flowers
Calls on the hour
Just to prove his love
And my friends say that when he's around
I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
[Chorus]
He loves me too
His love is true
But why can't he be you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
