Why Can't I? - Liz Phair

Get a load of me, get a load of you

Walking down the street and I hardly know you

It’s just like we were meant to be

Holding hands with you when we’re out at night

Got a girlfriend, you say it isn’t right

And I’ve got someone waiting too

What if this is just the beginning?

We’re already wet and we’re gonna go swimming

Why can’t I breathe

Whenever I think about you?

Why can’t I speak

Whenever I talk about you?

It’s inevitable

It’s a fact that we’re gonna get down to it

So tell me

Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you?

Whenever I think about you…

Isn’t this the best part of breaking up?

Finding someone else you can’t get enough of

Someone who wants to be with you too

It’s an itch we know we are gonna scratch

Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch

But wouldn’t it be beautiful

Here we go

We’re at the beginning, we haven’t fucked yet

But my head’s spinning

Why can’t I breathe

Whenever I think about you?

Why can’t I speak

Whenever I talk about you?

It’s inevitable

It’s a fact that we’re gonna get down to it

So tell me

Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you?

High enough for you to make me wonder

Where it’s going

High enough for you to pull me under

Somethin’s growing

Out of this that we can control

Baby, I am dyin'

Why can’t I breathe

Whenever I think about you?

Why can’t I speak

Whenever I talk about you?

Why can’t I breathe

Whenever I think about you?

Why can’t I speak

Whenever I talk about you?

It’s inevitable

It’s a fact that we’re gonna get down to it

So tell me

Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you?

Whenever I think about you

Whenever I think about you

Whenever I think about you

Whenever I think about you
