Why Can't We? Testo

I know I said we wouldn't do this
But I can't help the way I feel
And yeah, your ego's gotten too big
For you to tell me this is real

So when I'm all up in my feelings, feelin' blue (I want ya)
When you're down and out and don't know what to do (I got ya)
So let's take a little minute, me and you
'Cause you love the way this feels, and that's the truth
Why can't you just love me right?
Why can't we spend the night?
Why can't you just love me right?
Why can't we just be in love?

You got me swimmin' in the ocean
You got me fallin' way too deep
So now I'm drownin' in emotions
You got me fallin' at your feet

So when I'm all up in my feelings, feelin' blue (I want ya)
When you're down and out and don't know what to do (I got ya)
So let's take a little minute, me and you
'Cause you love the way this feels, and that's the truth

Why can't you just love me right?
Why can't we spend the night?
Why can't you just love me right?
Why can't we just be in love?
I tried to make you listen 'bout a thousand times
How you getting caught up leavin' me behind?
I can cross your Ts and you can dot my Is
Don't ya leave, don't ya leave
I tried to make you listen 'bout a thousand times
How you getting caught up leavin' me behind?
I can cross your Ts and you can dot my Is
Don't ya leave, don't ya leave, I mean it

Why can't you just love me right?
Why can't we spend the night?
Why can't you just love me right?
Why can't we just be in love?
