I sit and watch your flowers
Wilting in the kitchen
I felt like I was one of them
Gasping for air
I go from room to room
Hoping to find you
I play my music louder
Than you'd like me to

Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without
I want to get you in
Can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in
And when I lock you out
I want to get you,
Get you, get you in

I understand that you
Are going through a hard time
But what you need to recognize
I'm in one too
You say that maybe we
Should take some time apart
But you go your way,
I'll get by, and you'll go get high
You just see if I mind

Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without
I want to get you in
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in
And when I lock you out
I want to get you,
Let you, get you in

Well I could be wrong
I don't even know myself
And I must be strong
When you're gone so long
I don't need to know reasons why

What I wouldn't do for you

Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without
I want to get you in
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in
And when I lock you out
I want to get you,
Let you, get you in
I want to get you in
