Why Can’t I? Lyrics By 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 when we’re out at night
    got a girlfriend you say it isn’t right
    and i’ve got someone waiting too

    pre
    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

    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

    pre
    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

    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 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
    whenever i think about you
    whenever i think about you
