Liz Phair - Why Can't I

Lyrics to Why Can't I by Liz Phair

Get a load of me, get a load of you Walkin' 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 Isn't this the best part of breakin' 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 heads 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 goin' High enough for you to pull me under Somethin's growin' 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
