Look how the wind carries the seed
See how the soil supplies what it needs
The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks free
And it all works together, why can't we
And I have seen children at play in the park
Skin shades of ivory, red, yellow and dark
Well, my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see
They were playing together, why can't we
Chorus:
Why can't we, why can't we
I can love you and you can love me
Why can't we, why can't we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we
I had a dream about a lion and a lamb
They were playing together and there was peace in the land
And swords became plowshares 'cause there were no enemies
And I woke up and wondered, God why can't we
Repeat Chorus
Tag:
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we, M-M-M-M

[Bill sings:]
Where did you go?
What happened to the life we had?
It took an unexpected turn
And even though we tried so hard
We only got so far
Oh, what did we learn?
[Shelly sings:]
Another day
Another night without you here
And nothing ever seems to change
And I know I can't escape
Because I always see your face
Every time I close my eyes
[Chorus:]
[Bill and Shelly sing:]
If the sun can rise above us
Every single morning
If the moon can turn the tide
Of every sea
People falling in and out of love
Without a warning
They get a second chance
Then Why Can't We?
[Bill, Shelly:]
If there's a way
To let me in your world again
And put the pieces back in place
If we take it one day at a time
Who knows what we may find
Our love never went away
And we can get stronger every day!
[Chorus]
Aren't we tired of savin' all the same old faces
And pretending that we're better off alone
And maybe deep inside we both know that our place is
Here all along... here all along
People falling in and out of love without a warning
They get a second chance, then why can't we?

Look how the wind carries the sea
And see how the soul supplies what it needs
The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks reed
And it all works together, why can't we
And I have seen children at play in the park
Skin shades of ivory, red, yellow and dark
While my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see
They were playing together, why can't we
Why can't we
Why can't we
I can love you and you can love me
Why can't we
Why can't we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we
And I had a dream about a lion and a lamb
They were laying together and there was peace in the land
And so it became precious 'cause there were no enemies
And I woke up and wondered, God why can't we
Why can't we
Why can't we
I can you love you and you can love me
Why can't we
Why can't we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we
Oooooh, why can't we

Yeah... yeah!
Fool -- you know how we do it
West Side
Comin from the West Side
Nothin but the West Side
Ain't nuttin goin on but the bomb-ass rap song
Hittin all night long
Just like me on the black and white ivory
Gettin six on artillery, you don't want to see a G
Break yo' ass like dishes
Buster-ass tricks, sleep with the fishes
Runnin from Lennox, up at Venice
They wanna have me in stripes, like Dennis the Menace
But that ain't poppin, ain't no stoppin
Fo'-hoppin, ass droppin, Coupe DeVille
My truth can, ill - fool I got skills
So, back on up 'fore I check that chin
Down as fuck and I'm full off Henn'
You gets no love and I thought you knew it
Fool, you know how we do it
Comin from the West Side
West Side, comin from the West Side
Chillin with the homies, smellin the bud
Double parked and I'm talkin to Dub
about who got a plan, who got a plot
whom got got, and who got shot
Cause everybody knows that he got the info
Crazy Toones hangin out the window
Fool I got them bomb-ass tapes
Da Lench Mob, _Planet of the Apes_
I'm down with Eiht, and _Watts Up_
Kam is solo, they got nuts
When Ice Cube write a sentence
I want "The Bomb," just like George Clinton
S-K-D is down to catch a body
Put on _Knee Deep_, we'll turn out your party
You gets no love and I thought you knew it
Fool, you know how we do it
You know how we do it
Jack B. Nimble, and Jack B. Quick
if you wanna jack me on a lick, cause
I'm that fool from South Central
You think you stuck yourself, with a number 2 pencil
That's how I poke hot lead in yo' ass
With "Mo' Bounce to the Ounce" in the dash
Mash up, Ve-nice, headed for the West
Everything is great, slow down for the dip
On a 100 and 8th and keep mashin
Don't drink and drive to keep the fo' from crashin
Stashin a glock and I thought you knew it
You know how we do it
Comin from the West Side, West Side
Nuttin but a West Side
It's hittin on the West Side

(M. Greaves)
You're so near
We could touch
You're so sad
You cry too much
You're so warm
To hold on to
We don't do
The things we want to
We can fly to the moon
So why can't I reach you?
Oh, oh why can't I reach you?
Future's bright
For me alright
I close my eyes
You saw the light
Here it's dark
And I'm so blue
Here it's cold
Wanting you
I love you
Oh, I love you so
God, give me

Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street and I hardly know you
(Hardly know you)
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you, when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
(Isn't right)
And I've got someone waiting too
What it is, it's just the beginning
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it, so tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
(Whenever I think about you)
(Whenever I think about you)
(Whenever I think about you)
(Whenever I think about you)
Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
(But wouldn't it)
(But wouldn't it)
But wouldn't it be beautiful?
Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet, but my head's spinning
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it, so tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'?
High enough for you to pull me under
Somethings growin'
Out of this that we can't control
Baby I am dyin'
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it, so tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
(Whenever I think about you)
(Whenever I think about you)
(Whenever I think about you)

Feeling the way I do,
I'd like to say, "I do!"
Heaving a heavenly sigh
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?
Creeping to bed alone,
Resting my head alone
Only my pillow nearby
Some have a reason for dreaming
Why can't I?
I feel forsaken
On nights like this
Can't I awaken
To someone's kiss?
Two feet are ever cold
Four feet are never cold
I only mean to imply:
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?
Should girls be good girls?
I think they should
I need a good man
To make me be good
Only my book in bed
Knows how I look in bed
Nobody hears when I cry
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?

Girl I've got a question, here it is
How much longer 'til you let me taste your lips?
You can make a nigga wait if that's your thing
But anticipation drivin' me insane
I'm losing my composure
Tryin' to keep my cool
You start me, then you stop me
So what am I supposed to do?
Sometimes you be actin' so scared
When you know in my heart that I care
- Why can't we, just get past the smalltalk and formalities?
Wanna tell you that I want you, but it seems so hard
To let down my guard, and reveal my cards
Your body's convincin' me, so why can't we?
Get right to the foreplay, and right now we'll be
Got me dippin' in your ocean, did I go to deep?
I'm just tryin' to see, baby why can't we?
Now I'm working hard to build your trust in me
But I can see that's not gon' happen easily
When you're livin' in your past and in your pain
It's so hard to let your roses bloom again, again
I'm never gonna judge you
Girl you know it's true
I'll take care of your garden
That's what I intend to do
You won't have to be so scared
Cuz you know in my heart that I care
C'mon baby, don't hold back, don't hold back
I can feel you comin' on now (let it go, let it go)
I promise I won't hurt you, it'll be okay
I won't give you more than your body can take
Yeah, yeah
Your juices might flow like a river
'Til your body shakes, here is my plan
So you can come when you want
As long as you want, as loud as you want
Come on, come on

I gotta go gotta get away just for the weekend
I've gotta go cos I just can't stay just for the weekend
And when I go leave the shit behind just for the weekend
And may be then something good I'll find just for the weekend
You've gone and run in the wrong direction
Now you're so fallin in love, you're so falling alone
I don't care this is not my problem
There's not a lot that I'll have to take just for the weekend
There's not a smile that I'll have to fake just for the weekend
And when I go leave the shit behind just for the weekend
And maybe then find some peice of mind just for the weekend
You've gone and run in the wrong direction
Now you're so fallin in love, you're so falling alone
I don't care this is not the real thing
What's forever when I leave
Wipe myself with my soggy sleave

Why can't you
Wipe the tears that I cry
Heal the hurt inside
Be good to me
So good to me
Love me forever
Ever since the first night
I've been in pain
You've brought me pain
When you should've treated me right
Saw me cry
I know what you can do
Give me one reason
Why can't you
Wipe the tears that I cry
Heal the hurt inside
Be good to me
So good to me
Love me forever
I searched the whole time
Can't find
The love we had
I wish to stress
That it was true
I was there
Not really thinking about you
So tell me
Why can't you
Wipe the tears that I cry
Heal the hurt inside
Be good to me
So good to me
Love me forever
I know you do this
Why do you do this?
One reason, please
Why can't you
Wipe the tears that I cry
Heal the hurt inside
Be good to me
So good to me

I was down by the water
And I was so scared
So frightened by the crashing waves
And you were right there beside me
And you were so prepared, so unafraid
You we laughing in the rain
[Chorus:]
Why can't we be each other's wings?
Carrying each other away from unfortunate things
We were there when it mattered
And that is all we need to carry us away
So why can't we fly?
Why can't we fly away from uncertainties?
Why can't we fly?
Why can't I?
You always knew what you needed
And I was so unsure
It shook the ground I walked upon
So understandingly, you stepped away
To give me a little time to look around, catch my
breath
I don't want to walk alone
I want to walk together with you now
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Why can't I?
I've been roaming for so long
It's been a while since these clouds have been lifted
Why can't I leave it all behind?
Just rise above it all
And fly
I was down by the water

Can I be your girlfriend
I wanna wanna wanna be your girlfriend
I gotta gotta gotta get you to the end
No lie
Gotta get you in
You into my life
[Chorus:]
Why can't we
Fall in love
Baby you're the one that I'm thinking of
Why can't we be more then friends
I see u from a Friday night u sistren
Why can't we
Fall in love
Let me be the one that you've been dreaming of
Why can't I
Just have you
Going crazy over you
[Verse 1:]
Boy you've got me bugging, got me flipping out my way
You know you got me hooked from the first day
I wanna be your lova
Gotta be your lady
Cause a guy like you needs me
Can I be your honey
Can I be your sugarplum
Yearning for your touch for o so long
This burning desire, it just will not leave
When will my heart ever sleep
[Bridge:]
Baby you
Got me hooked with all the things
You do
Looking out at night, cause I'm so into you
Baby wanna wait
Wanna be with you
Boy it's true
Falling deeper when I'm next to you
U had me crazy since 2002
Baby wanna wait
Wanna be with you
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
So now that you know baby
What you gonna do
I've showed you my heart
And it's all up to you
So tell me that u feel it, I hoping you do
Stuck pon you boy, like a glue
So tell me when you step
Should you give me a rush
Ain't no denying
I want you so much
This burning desire
It's just will not leave
Oh give you loving to me
[Bridge]
Can I be your girlfriend

[Hook x4]
Who gon do it, the way I do
Who gon get this bitch hot as I do, and keep it live as I do
[Dougie D]
First of all, look I'm in mash mode
Motherfuckers wasn't even expecting, but here I go
You know me from the Maab, you know me from the S.L.A.B
Niggaz be wanting to see Dougie, show his raw naked ass
What about niggaz that's hating, I don't feel that there
What about niggaz that's pressing, I kill that there
I'm a certified G, like a freak on with one T.V
I keep a click of killas, that's stupid and all coo-coo
Like the way I keep it live, yeah we like that boy
Like the way I keep it on fire, yeah we like that boy
I'ma jump on the track, and ride it and keep wigging
Panties'll get wet, while pads'll get messy
Who gon do it like I do it, no other or nan nother
Dougie'll get this motherfucker hot, like summer
A Guerilla Maab nigga, I represent it forever
Until I retire my jersey, and touch another level
[Hook x4]
[Dougie D]
God damn it, I'm on fire
Just as soon as I commits to speaking, the shit burn down
I'm a lyrical mastermind, with my punch line rhyme
Make a motherfucker rewind, and play it one mo' time
I'm a street toner scholar, game I got a lot of
Flipping through the city, with my chicken on my wood divider
Trying to get me I think nada, this beam on top of my nine-a
Will go on top of your noggin, and knock everything up out of it
Whoo, when you boys gon learn
When you fuck around with the fire, your ass will get burned
I done paid my dues daddy, so you wait your turn
And my mind up on my money, I don't know bout yours
And I'm still riding, sliding cocked up
Don't give a motherfuck, squeeze a bitch up on her butt
Hollin' man hold up, getting full and fucked up
It's your nigga Dougie D, wrecking this bitch and getting bucked
[Hook x4]
[Trae]
Follow me inside the mind of a thugger, that's known to slug a
Never gon be nan nother, that's rougher coming out the gutter
I mean it and I tell you, I spit it like I'ma give it gangsta
For the digits these niggaz be weaker, than a fake ass wanksta
I'm a corner bender, on 20's with T.V.'s
And the bang be knocking off they fenders, pretenders can never enter
To kick it with Maab related Guerillas, so niggaz hate it
They know that they perpetrated, they life'll be confiscated
For fucking with a well known, with a weapon that's well shown
Conversating on cell phones, with work to get it gone
I'm just doublizing, with ways to shut 'em down
And since I shut 'em down, it's best they lay it down
[Cl'Che]
It ain't nan bitch, can do it like I did it
Ain't nan mo'fucker, could screw it like Screw did it
Or amateurs trying, to rhyme against professionals
That's not fair, so bitch I dare
You, to even think you could do what Cl' do
Originar S.L.A.B. rider, coming through
Cl'Che, Trae, Dougie D we love to do
When you hating on we do, and the do is in you
I got a rhyme or two, and it's just about you
Cause we dropping these albums, doing just what we do
And I ain't, never by myself
I got the whole damn Southside, riding on my belt

I see you at the corner
Then I stared at your face
I wonder who you're lookin at
I wish that was me
But I know that its her
So I guess I have to turn my back this way
But I know that when I close my eyes
Its you that I'll see
(no matter how hard I try) to forget you
(no matter how hard I try) but its still you
(no matter how hard I try) I can't fake it
I can't fake it cause I can't
[CHORUS]
Why can't you see, that there is me
Whose waiting for you, all this time
Why can't it be, just you and me
I've been waiting for you, all this time
I waited true to you
If you'll only let me
I just walked right through there
I saw you talking on the phone
And I heard you saying all the words
That I've been longing for
How I wish that I'm the girl
On the other line
How could it be, how could it be
I know you can't be mine
(no matter how hard I try) to forget you
(no matter how hard I try) but its still you, oh
(no matter how hard I try) I can't fake it
I can't fake it cause I can't
[CHORUS]
I waited true to you
If you'll only let me
How can you see me when you're blinded by that girl (by that girl)
I'll be just a shadow following you right on the wall (on the wall)
I don't wanna wake up crazy one day cause your driving me insane
For what can I do your the only one who make me feel this way
[CHORUS]
Why can't you see me (why can't you, why can't you)
Why can't you see me, oh (why can't you, why can't you) [2X]

(Verse)
If we both work really hard
And we open up our hearts
The biggest part is communication
And if we put away some cash
Don't go dippin in the stash
Some day we're gonna make it
You up the start
Rule in the yard
A two car garage
It got hard but for something we can call ours
I would gladly go that extra mile
(Chorus)
What makes a man take a second job
To buy a wedding ring
Love only
Love makes a girl suffer in the pain
In delivery
Love only
And a new born child is the answer to our dream
Seems like everybody's falling, why can't we?
(Verse)
And for being such a man
Wanna take you by the hand
'Cause I know it's what relieves the tension
So they're back so they'll like sure hell
Let me make it up in bed
I wanna be your relaxation
'Cause he works so hard
So we can live large
And hand you the card
I'm so fall on I can charge it to my card
For me he'll always go the extra mile
(Chorus)
What makes a man take a second job
To buy a wedding ring
Love only
Love makes a girl suffer in the pain
In delivery
Love only
And a new born child is the answer to our dream
Seems like everybody's falling, why can't we?
(Bridge)
So why don't we take a day out
And dedicate it to celebrate our love
So proud that we held up congratulations
'Cause I'm so much in love
So from this day forth
We talk about love
And get any dictionary there's a picture of us
Laughing and happy that we went the extra mile
(Chorus)
What makes a man take a second job
To buy a wedding ring
Love only
Love makes a girl suffer in the pain
In delivery
Love only
And a new born child is the answer to our dream

Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too
What if this is just the beginning
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too

Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful
Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet, but my heads spinning

Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
High enough for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
out of this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me

Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
I'd love for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
I'd love for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
for this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

The cloud is heavy dark
Seems like t'will rain all day
Like my broken heart
It cries so hard it says
I long, for you but I can't find you
Chorus:
Where are you?
Why can't I put my arms around you?
And let you feel that I miss you
Why should I hide myself from the world?
When I know that I love you
Can't see a ray of sun
Seems like the rain has stolen the hope
But I know this will come to an end
And by that time I'll say
I wish to hold you, but no, no I can't
Chorus:
Where are you?
Why can't I put my arms around you?
And let you feel that I miss you
Why should I hide myself from the world?
When I know that I love you
Bridge:
I love you so and I want you to know
I'll be with you, when you need me
I'll go, but
Chorus:
Where are you?
Why can't I put my arms around you?
And let you feel that I miss you
Why should I hide myself from the world?

You saw me kissing your friend
So what, we broke up
I've had enough
You saw me in a bar drinking hard
So what, we're apart
You broke my heart
I left my panties at your place
That's great, keep'em safe
Leave them on your face
Chorus:
Why can't I sleep without you by my side?
Pride's so sly, fondles all that's true and real
Why can't we rid ourselves of blame and animosity?
When all I want to do is trust you, why can't I?
I saw you driving in your car with Elaine
She's insane
A ball and chain
I heard you're looking for a job as a cop
That's sweet
Protect our streets
You left your blue shirt at my place
That's great, I'll keep it safe
Give it to my next date
Chorus:
Why can't I sleep without you by my side?
Pride's so sly, fondles all that's true and real
Why can't we rid ourselves of blame and animosity?
When all I want to do is hug you, why can't I? Why can't I?
Once upon a time, purity was instinctive
Love was blind, is it all factitious?
You are the gold at the end of my, end of my, end of my rainbow
Chorus:
Why can't I sleep without you by my side?
Pride's so sly, fondles all that's true and real
Why can't we rid ourselves of blame and animosity?
When all I want to do is love you, why can't I? Why can't I?

People always let me down
and I try not to get pushed around
when you go out and act all dumb
you know I'm not having fun
oh baby now, why can't I
just love you all the time
but if you left
I'd feel worse off than the rest
why can't I
just love you all the time
mostly all I want to do
is just hang out alone with you
sometimes you make me so mad
all I wanna do is treat you bad
oh baby now, why can't I
just love you all the time
why can't I
