Why Can't I Be With You?

Why can't you be mine?
Why can't you be with me?
You are so beautiful and so fine,
I love you, can't you see?

Every night, before I go to sleep
I start thinking of one girl,
The one girl I want to keep,
who is my priceless pearl.

That one girl I think of,
It is you, don't you see?
I really, REALLY do love
the way you look at me.

I wish you were mine,
I truly do,
you are so thoughtful and so kind,
why can't I be with you?
