How, how can it be?
How can it be you still love him and not me?
Does it really add up mathematically?
How, how can it be?
Because I'm thinking of how I made you laugh
And I'm thinking of the love that we had
And I'm saying it's a matter of time
How long 'till you remember you're mine?
It don't make it true just 'cause it's where you've been sighted
It don't make it true just 'cause it's what you've decided
Oh it's the logic that's wrong, why are you there for so long?
I just can see nothing else except for you and myself
So How, how can it be?
How can it be you still love him and not me?
Does it really make sense logically?
And does it really make you happy to see
That now I'm with someone beautiful and cool
And she seems to think the world of me too
And we're laughing as we stroll up the street
Until I take her to that joint where I eat
But why are you here now in my restaurant
And you're with the only one that you want
So I won't be eating here or anywhere else I fear
And the girl that's on my arm is gonna have to see tears
More tears
Because I see your face and it's still my own
How can I ever think it's something that's gone?
It's just the fact that we're a match that makes sense
Although insane if you still claim we'll be friends
And I know you think I'm crazy and the world makes it two
But I'm not crazy it's just dumb to be alive without you
I know you love his looks, you love his love, you love his family
But is that really any reason to love him instead of me
I can't see
Oh how can it be?
And does it really add up mathematicaly?
Or should I say it more emphatically?
Consistently or sporadically?
Oh is this really just the way it will be?
