He can’t love you like I can

You say you need a little time to think,

But girl, I’ve been waiting on the brink.

You’re caught between a maybe and goodbye,

While I’m here fighting just to stay in your eyes.

You tell me he’s got charm and a fancy ride,

But baby, that don’t keep you warm at night.

You know deep down where your heart belongs,

So why you keep playing both sides of the song?

(Chorus)

He can’t love you like I can,

He don’t understand the way you dream, the way you stand.

I’ve been here through the fire and the rain,

I’d take your joy, your hurt, your pain.

So I don’t understand

Why you can’t make up your mind,

When love like this is hard to find.

He can’t love you, no he can’t love you like I can.

(Verse 2)

You keep running back when things go wrong,

But I’ve been your peace all along.

He’s got the words, but not the soul,

I’m the one who makes your heart feel whole.

You say it’s complicated, I say it’s clear,

Your heart beats faster when I’m near.

Every look you give tells me I’m right,

So why you still torn in this endless fight?

(Chorus)

He can’t love you like I can,

He don’t understand the way you laugh, the way you dance.

I’ve held you close when no one else would care,

I’ve seen your truth when no one dared.

So I don’t understand

Why you can’t make up your mind,

When love like this is hard to find.

He can’t love you, no he can’t love you like I can.

(Bridge)

Maybe you’re scared of something real,

But girl, you know the way I feel.

You keep chasing what won’t last,

When your future’s standing in your past.

(Breakdown)

He might hold your hand tonight,

But I’m the one who gets your soul right.

You can’t deny what’s meant to be,

You know your heart belongs to me.

(Final Chorus)

He can’t love you like I can,

He don’t see the woman I see when I take your hand.

I’ve loved you through the highs and lows,

And baby, deep down, I think you know.

So I don’t understand

Why you can’t make up your mind,

When love like this is one of a kind.

He can’t love you — no, he can’t love you like I can.

(Outro)

So take your time, but don’t take too long,

’Cause I’ve been singing the same old song.

He might try, but he’ll never be your man,

’Cause he can’t love you… like I can.
