I dreamed about a daring getaway,
Every night under her window,
Where I would just steal her away

And she would just go.
And we would open-top cross-country
And I'd provide for everything,

And she would soon forget about you
And how you smothered her under your wing.


You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her,

You say that you'll never love her,
You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her


You just can't.


I see the way she stares out into space
And I wonder what she's thinking.
And what she can't see in your face

Or what anyone sees.
If I could only take that chance
Then I know I can make her see

And she would soon forget about you
And start discovering me.


You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her,

You say that you'll never love her,
You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her


You just can't


These promises are,
Are just good enough
To make it all better

To make it all better.
These promises are,
Are just good enough

To make it all better
To make it all better.


You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her,

You say that you'll never love her,
You say that you'll never love her
You say that you'll never love her


You just can't
