Why Can't I?

Lyrics

Get a load of me, get a load of you
 Walkin' down the street and I hardly know you (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 (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, 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 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?
 I'd love for you to make me wonder
 Where it's goin'
 I'd love 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?
 (Whenever I think about you, Whenever I think about you)
 
 Get a load of me, get a load of you
 Walkin' down the street and I hardly know you (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 (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, 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 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?
 I'd love for you to make me wonder
 Where it's goin'
 I'd love for you to pull me under
 Somethin's growin'

 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?
