[Instrumental]
I always wanted you like Christmas morning
I didn't care you were his
I always thought you very engaged
All I wanted was your kiss
What happened next was my favorite accident
Your love was the best mistake
In bed and behind his back, we had incidents
If that's what you call the love we'd make
I fell in love
You fell in love
You pushed away and said enough
From relations to romance
All I wanted was a chance
Why can't I
Why can't I
Why can't I be your husband?
Why can't I
Why can't I
Why can't I be your husband?
Why can't I, why can't I, why can't I...
Since you went away and married him on the shore
In a white dress
I wanted you more
With diamond ring and gold band on your finger
I could love you better
Wish you would divorce him
I wish you would divorce him
Remember when you would call me late at night
Crying 'cause nothing was right
You'd come over and I'd comfort alright
Did so in bed 'til sunlight
I gave you a son
I gave you a daughter
But you sent hopes right to the slaughter
Said you were done
You had your fun
I won't accept I'm not the one
Why can't I
Why can't I be your husband?
Why can't I
Why can't I
Why can't I be your husband?
Why can't I, why can't I, why can't I...
Since you went away and married him in Vegas
What happens stays there
You break my heart with no care
With a gold band on your finger
I could marry you better
Wish you would divorce him
I wish you would divorce him
Why can't I
Why can't I be your husband?
Why can't I
Why can't I
Why can't I be your husband?
Why can't I, why can't I, why can't I...
