Just Because You Can't Be Mine - Bettye Swann

What makes something

I know I can’t have

Always look so good

And why does something

So out of reach

Look so fine

What makes you thrill me more

Than any other man I know

I guess it’s just because

You can’t be mine

Why can’t I be content

With what belongs to me And be satisfied

With what’s already mine

What makes a stolen moment with you

Seem like such a precious thing

I guess it’s just because

You can’t be mine

What makes me always want a man

I know I can never have

And why does someone else’s silver

Always shine

My passion rises sky-high

Every time you come around

Is it just because I know

You’ll never be mine

I guess it’s just because

You can’t be mine

Is it just because

You can’t be mine
