Why Can't He Be You Lyrics - Norah Jones

1 He takes me to the places you and I used to go

2 He tells me over and over that he loves me so

3 He gives me love that I never got from you

4 He loves me too, his love is true

5 Why can't he be you?

6 He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind

7 And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time

8 And he does all the things that you would never do

9 He loves me, too, his love is true

10 Why can't he be you?

11 He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul

12 And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know

13 But his kisses leave me cold

14 He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love

15 And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of

16 And he does all the things that you would never do

17 He loves me too, his love is true

18 Why can't he be you?

19 He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul

20 And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know

21 But his kisses leave me cold

22 He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love

23 And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of

24 And he does all the things that you would never do

25 He loves me too, his love is true

26 Why can't he be you?
