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



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
