It's three am, and I'm all alone waiting by the phone Fooling myself and just wasting time wishing you were mine And I'm mad at the world 'cause you went away left me here to stay And it's breaking my heart that somebody new gets to be with you Oh why can't I be him? And be with you again To have and to hold, girl, I'll keep you from the cold Oh why can't I be him? Hanging around just outside his door on the 14th floor Pathetic and weird, it's a crying shame I've become this way And I'm mad at the world 'cause I've been replaced with no time to waste And it's breaking my heart that somebody new now is next to you Oh why can't I be him? And be with you again To have and to hold, girl, I'll keep you from the cold Oh why can't I be him? No, no Why can't I be him? And be with you again To have and to hold, girl, I'll keep you from the cold Oh why can't I be Why can't I be him? And be with you again To have and to hold, girl, I'll keep you from the cold Oh why can't I be him?
