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

(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) [x4]


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?

(Whenever I think about you) [x4]
