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]
So 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 a wrong place, at a wrong time
Or was it me? Oh

[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
Baby, I'm yours
Only 'til I wake up

[Chorus]
So 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 a wrong place, at a wrong time, ooh

[Bridge]
That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
Baby, I'm yours (Baby, I'm yours)
Only 'til I wake up
Oh

[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 a wrong place, at a wrong time
You came along at a wrong place, at a wrong time
Or was it me?
