Liz Phair Liz Phair - Why Can't I?

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

The problem 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 breaking up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too

Its 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 are 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 goin'
High enough 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 talk about you

Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
