Why Can't It Be Lyrics

Tamia

Hurry up and make a move do something
I'm trying to leave
I'll admit you got me jacked up thinking
You coming with me
Every time I see you look in my direction
I wanna find a way to get you attention
Come over say something
I need to know
[Chorus:]
Why can't it be
Cuz I been looking for that special guy
Why can't it be
You been looking for that special girl
Baby why can't it be
Why
That you and me
You'll be all that I'm thinking about
And I'll be all
All you dreaming of
See you looking on the down low
You making me smile
I can think about nothing else baby
You driving me wild
Wanna find a way to get your attention
Baby look at me in all of my dimensions
I need to know something
Tell me what's up
[Chorus:]
Why can't it be
Cuz I been looking for that special guy
Why can't it be
You been looking for that special girl
Baby why can't it be
Why
That you and me
You'll be all that I'm thinking about
And I'll be all
All you dreaming of
Why couldn't we be more than just friends
Or we could chill and just see what happens
We don't have all night to drag this thing out
I gotta know from you
Say you want me to
[Chorus:] [2x]
Why can't it be
Cuz I been looking for that special guy
Why can't it be
You been looking for that special girl
Why
Baby why can't it be
That you and me
You'll be all that I'm thinking about
And I'll be all
All you dreaming of
