Bought around, rips took a play
Went to the beach but all it did was rain
So I had to turn around and go back to my life
Empty house, empty rooms
Not a trace or a sound of you
Oh, if you can lop and live like that
Baby, why can’t I?

Why can’t I stop loving you?
Oh, baby, why?
Nothing I do gets me over you
But I try

Friday night, went on a date
I was on home back ‘round right after it
Oh, I just sat here and cried
It didn’t feel right, oh, yeah
Hey, I’m a catch, I tell myself
If you can find somebody else
Oh, and move on with your life
Baby, why can’t I?

Why can’t I stop loving you?
Oh, baby, why?
Nothing I do gets me over you
But I try

Well, I wish I knew how to let you go
What can I do?
Maybe I could learn from you
You found that easy to saying goodbye
Baby, why can’t I?

Why can’t I stop loving you?
Oh, baby, why?
Nothing I do gets me over you
But I try

Well, I wish I knew how to let you go
What can I do?
Maybe I could learn from you
You found that easy to saying goodbye
Baby, why can’t I?

You made it look easy to saying goodbye
So why can’t I?
Why can’t I?
