Why Can't I? (Original Version)

Why Can't I? (Original Version) - Liz Phair

Get a load of me get a load of you

Walking 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

But this 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 breaking 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 f**ked 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

High enough for you to make me wonder

Where it's going

High enough for you to pull me under

Somethin's growing

Out of this that we can't control

Baby I am dying

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

Whenever I think about you whenever I think about you
