Why Can't I? - 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, and we're out at night

Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right

And I've got someone waiting too



This is, 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 are, we're at the beginning

We haven't fucked yet, but > 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



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'

for 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
