Merle Haggard Because You Can't Be Mine
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BE MINE
(Merle Haggard)
«© '67 Tree Publishing, BMI»
What makes something you can't have always look so good
Why'd do something out of reach seem so fine
What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know
I guess it's just because you can't be mine
Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me
And be satisfied with what's already mine
What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing
I guess it's just because you can't be mine
What makes me always want a woman I can't have
Why the someone else's silver always shine
My patience rises every time you come around
And I guess it's just because you can't be mine
Why can't I be contented...
