We think of the days that we use to cry
Laughing and talking only you and I
Those memories that I help your hand
Me thinking I was your only man
Why was I so blind I could not see
I wasn't for you, you wasn't for me

What did I do that you neglected me
You know I was there when you needed me
But now I see that we could never be
Because you think of me differently
I never thought my heart be torn in two
Me thinking you love me

Why can't you be mine (why can't you be mine)
I thought we were more than just a friend
Why can't you be mine,
My love for you was till the end
I spent my days home thinking what went wrong
Why don't you see what I'm trying to show
That I would love to be your man
Please tell me why, why I can't
I only wish that you would understand

That I could be better than any man
Cause I know about you more than any one else
That's why I want you all for myself
But now I see that we could never be
Cause you think of me differently
I never thought my heart be torn in two
Me thinking you love me
Why can't you be mine (why can't you be mine)
I thought we were more than just a friend
Why can't you be mine,
My love for you was till the end
