Can't Have You

Verse1

I won't tell you

I love you

'cause we can never be

can't tell you

I want you

you're already taken away from me

won't ever tell you

I need you

when you already have somebody else

Bridge

Besides.. you'd just walk all over me

make a fool outta me

to prove I'll never be yours

Verse2

I can't do this anymore

we can't be friends

don't talk to me

just walk away

it's best for you and me

you know more

than you need to know

Repeat Bridge

Chorus

I let you in

for a little while

then I kicked you out

I Can't Have You

when you have someone else

I Can't Have You

I need somebody else

I don't need you

when you don't want me

I Can't Have You

stay away from me

Verse3

I wish I never met you

I knew this would happen to me

fallin' for the wrong girl again

can't say I love you

those words mean nothin' to you

don't wanna hurt you

so turn

run away from me

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

(solo)

Verse4

Can't you see

you and I can't ever be

you need to stay where you are

keep the one you're with

you don't need me

when I Can't Have You

I don't need you

when you don't want me

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

....I don't need you

when you don't want me

you don't need me

when I Can't Have You

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"Can't Have You" was written about a woman who I thought was very attractive, and I was friends with her, but I had to keep telling myself I can not have her cuz, at the time, she was married. And I wasn't about to let that kind of trouble into my life. I was feeling pretty out there about it. I felt I had to write about it just to get it off my chest.
