Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] The day we met it was all by chance Just a twist of fate and circumstance I hadn’t seen you since the fall of O 2 You were pretty as I remembered you [Verse] We’d kind of went out a couple times Then you went your way and I went mine You said you were recently divorced Trying to get your life back on course [Verse] While we talked it was then that I knew I was never able to get over you You were always in the back of my mind I wish I had somehow made you mine [Chorus] Why do I always want what I can’t have Your memory is gonna drive me mad Why do I go back to what might’ve been I think about you again and again Why do I see your face when I dream I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme Why do I think and feel the way I do Like it or not I’m in love with you That’s why… I do what I do [Guitar Solo] [Verse] I was wondering should I take a chance Maybe take a shot at true romance I knew in my heart it was always you And that no one else would ever do [Chorus] Why do I always want what I can’t have Your memory is gonna drive me mad Why do I go back to what might’ve been I think about you again and again Why do I see your face when I dream I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme Why do I think and feel the way I do Like it or not I’m in love with you That’s why… I do what I do [Verse] Then suddenly some man appeared And everything was as I had feared You introduced me, his name was Lyle I shook his hand, tried to fake a smile [Verse] You’d started dating two months ago Once again I had to let you go You gave me a hug as we said goodbye As you left I wished I was that guy [Chorus] Why do I always want what I can’t have Your memory is gonna drive me mad Why do I go back to what might’ve been I think about you again and again Why do I see your face when I dream I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme Why do I think and feel the way I do Like it or not I’m in love with you That’s why… I do what I do [Bridge] I wanna be the one who walks beside you The one to look in your eyes as you say I do To be the one who loves you every night And take you in my arms and hold you tight [Chorus] Why do I always want what I can’t have Your memory is gonna drive me mad Why do I go back to what might’ve been I think about you again and again Why do I see your face when I dream I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme Why do I think and feel the way I do Like it or not I’m in love with you That’s why… I do what I do [Final Chorus] Why do I always want what I can’t have Your memory is gonna drive me mad Why do I go back to what might’ve been I think about you again and again Why do I see your face when I dream I’m taking a fantasy to the extreme Why do I think and feel the way I do Like it or not I’m in love with you That’s why… I do what I do
