Can't Get Over You
Frankie Beverley/Maze Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I bought it on myself
I owe no blame to no one else
And now I realize
I can't get over you
And though I do my very best
I just can't find happiness
And it's all because
I can't get over you
Hey baby why oh why
Thinking of you makes me cry
Matter how I try
I'm gonna love you bye and bye
Bye and bye baby
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
I don't know what to do I
Can't get over you
I guess you'll always have a part

Somewhere deep in my heart
It's just to hard to hide
I can't get over you
I tried to lose myself in song
But the ties are much to strong
What I'm I going to do
I can't get over you
It makes feel so bad
Messin' up the love we had
There's one thing I know
I will always love you so
Love you so baby Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
I can't get over you
I can't get over you




I can't get over you
I can't get over you
