[Verse 1]
You came along, unexpectedly
I was doing fine in my little world
Oh baby please don't get me wrong
'Cause I'm not complaining
But you see, you got my mind spinning

[Chorus]
Why can't it be?
Why can't it be the two of us?
Why can't we be lovers?
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
Or was it me

[Verse 2]
Baby, I dream of you every minute
You're in my dreams
You're always in it
That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
And I'm yours
Only 'til I wake up

[Chorus]
Why can't it be?
Why can't it be the two of us?
Why can't we be lovers?
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
Or was it me
[Bridge]
That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
And I'm yours
Only 'til I wake up

[Chorus]
Why can't it be?
Why can't it be the two of us?
Why can't we be lovers?
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
Or was it me

[Outro]
Why can't it be?
