Why Can't It All Belong To Me?

Everyone’s drunk so they feel like they’re somewhere
But I’m all alone and I know that I’m nowhere
Feeling sorry for myself and my nerves working overtime

I wonder who she’s with and what game it’s going to be
Maybe it’s the same one that she played with me
Taking control and giving all the right signs

He touches her hand, she makes her eyes open wide
She moves round the table and sits close by his side

He watches her walk as they go out the door
She says ‘I’ve never felt this way before
About anyone- I think this could be a special day’

They wait outside, he says ‘Where we gonna go?’
Her smile’s an invitation, she says ‘I don’t know
My place is too dangerous’, but she leads him there anyway

He’s getting too excited, she pretends to feel the same
She lets him make the moves, so he can take the blame

Chorus:
  I miss you, I miss you, you know
  I miss you, I miss you, I can’t let it go
  I miss you, I miss you, now I’m free
  Oh why can’t it all belong to me?

He sees her everday, they spend hours on the phone
They paint a few dreams, she says ‘The future’s unknown
We can’t say we’ll be together, but baby don’t you think we might?’

She raises her mouth and just when they’re going to kiss
She says ‘There’s other men that I know and I miss
Sometimes I need to see them, sometimes I need to spend the night

You have to understand me if you want to be my friend
You have to be patient to the bitter, bitter end’

Chorus

Another drink and then I’ll go
They’re calling time and turning out the lights
And I don’t really need to know
But where are you, where are you tonight?

Chorus
