Lyrics Just Because You Can't Be Mine - Bettye Swann

Just Because You Can't Be Mine

What makes something
I know I can’t have
Always look so good
And why does something
So out of reach
Look so fine
What makes you thrill me more
Than any other man I know
I guess it’s just because
You can’t be mine
Why can’t I be content
With what belongs to me And be satisfied
With what’s already mine
What makes a stolen moment with you
Seem like such a precious thing
I guess it’s just because
You can’t be mine
What makes me always want a man
I know I can never have
And why does someone else’s silver
Always shine
My passion rises sky-high
Every time you come around
Is it just because I know
You’ll never be mine
I guess it’s just because
You can’t be mine
Is it just because
You can’t be mine
