Carrington MacDuffie - Because I Couldn't Have You Lyrics

I took a sweet fine lover 'cause I couldn't have you
Went ahead and went with another 'cause I couldn't have you
I tried every trick in the schoolbook, yeah
And I broke every rule in the rule book yeah
But I had to take a fiddler or a drummer 'cause I couldn't have you

Because I couldn't have you
My sweet dream could not come true

Whatever the stakes, whatever it takes I'm gonna pay
I feel like I'm livin' in a book or a movie or a play
The story goes one and one make two
I'm lovin' on him but I'm thinkin' 'bout you
Every minute of every single day

Be-cause I couldn't have you
My sweet dream could not come true
Because I couldn't have you, no
Because I couldn't have you, no

Because I couldn't have you
I did the only thing that I could think to do
To steer my heart that's caught my thoughts
Away from dreams that can't come true

How things might change up, you never can tell
But how things play right now I know too well
He did everything that a man could do
To break my fall as I fell for you
But he could not hold up how hard I fell

Because I couldn't have you
My sweet sweet dream could not come true
Because I couldn't have you, no
Because I couldn't have you, no

I took a sweet fine lover 'cause I couldn't have you
Went ahead and went with another
'Cause I couldn't have you
I tried every tricks in the schoolbook, yeah
Broke every rule in the rule book yeah
But I had to stop and take another number
'Cause I couldn't have you
I went ahead and went with another
'Cause I couldn't have you

Because I couldn't have you
My sweet sweet dream could not come true
Because I couldn't have you, no
I couldn't have you, no
Because I couldn't have you, no
I couldn't have you no, no
Because I couldn't have you
