Why Can't He Be You

He takes me to the places you and I used to go He tells me over and over that he loves me so He gives me love that I never got from you He loves me too his love is true why can't he be you He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind And I'm lucky to have such a guy I hear it all the time And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me too his love is true why can't he be you No he's not the one who dominates my mind and soul And I should love him so cause he loves me I know But his kisses leave me cold He sends me flowers calls on the hour just to prove his love And my friends say when he's around I'm all he speaks of And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me too his love is true why can't he be you --- Why Can't He Be You - Loretta Lynn
