Why Can't He Be You

(Hank Cochran)

He takes me to the places you and I use 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

But 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

But why can't he be you

Oh he's not the one who dominates my mind and my soul

And I should love him so cuz 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 that 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

But why can't he be you
