Why Can't I? Lyrics - Maureen Mcgovern

Feeling the way I do, 

I'd like to say, "I do!" 

Heaving a heavenly sigh 

Everybody has someone 

Why can't I? 

Creeping to bed alone, 

Resting my head alone 

Only my pillow nearby 

Some have a reason for dreaming 

Why can't I? 

I feel forsaken 

On nights like this 

Can't I awaken 

To someone's kiss? 

Two feet are ever cold 

Four feet are never cold 

I only mean to imply: 

Everybody has someone 

Why can't I? 

Should girls be good girls? 

I think they should 

I need a good man 

To make me be good 

Only my book in bed 

Knows how I look in bed 

Nobody hears when I cry 

Everybody has someone 

Why can't I?
