Merle Haggard — Because You Cant Be Mine

[Verse] What makes something you can't have always look so good? Why do some things out of reach seem so fine? What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know? I guess it's just because you can't be mine [Verse] Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me? And be satisfied with what's already mine What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing? I guess it's just because you can't be mine [Verse] What makes me always want a woman I can't have? Why does someone else's silver always shine? My passion rises every time you come around And I guess it's just because you can't be mine [Verse] Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me? And be satisfied with what's already mine What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing? I guess it's just because you can't be mine
