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?

Why can't I? Why can't I?
