Lyrics
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
But 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?
Writer(s): Hank Cochran
