Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover
Baby
Why can't we be lovers?

Sometimes I feel like there's no use in trying
Why can't I face the fact we've lost
What we'll never get back?
I don't know where where did we go wrong?
I say I'm leaving but my feelings are too strong

And, baby, you know, I'm in love, baby
So in love with you, darling
And when I say I'm leaving
Boy, it's just I'm make-believing
I ain't going nowhere
No, I ain't going nowhere

Boy, you're a habit I can't break
I'd fall apart if you weren't there when I awake
I've thought of leaving, but I don't have the heart
I can't picture it, babe, you and I being apart

And if I say goodbye
It doesn't mean I'm going
And if I say there ain't no love
You might still see it showing

Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover
Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover

'Cause I'm in love
(I'm in love)
So in love
(So in love)
And I'll never be leaving
Boy, it's just I'm make-believing

Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover

And if I say goodbye
Doesn't mean I'm going
And if I say there ain't no love
You might still see it showing

Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover
Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover

'Cause I'm in love
So in love
And I'll never be leaving
Boy, it's just I'm make-believing

Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover
Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover

Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover
Baby
Why can't we be lovers?
Oh, darling
From loving you I'll never recover

'Cause I'm in love
So in love
And I'll never be leaving
It's just make-believing
