G                                 Am        D7
He takes me to the places you and I used to go
            Am   D7  Am   D7      C     G
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
                        G7             C
He gives me love that I never got from you
                             G
He loves me too  his love is true
Am        D7    G
Why can't he be you
                                   Am         D7
He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
        Am    D7      Am     D7   C             G
And I'm lucky to have such a guy  I hear it all the time
                                G7              C
And he does all the things that you would never do
                             G
He loves me  too his love is true
Am        D7    G
Why can't he be you
G7           C                    G
He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
             C
And I should love him so  cause he loves me I know
        A7              D7
But his kisses leave me cold
G                                             Am        D7
He sends me flowers calls on the hour just to prove his love
       Am          D7   Am         D7   C       G
And my friends say when he's around I'm all he speaks of
                          G7                   C
And he does all the things that you would never do
                            G
He loves me too his love is true
Am        D7    G
Why can't he be you
