I can't get close to you baby
no matter how hard I try
Someone or thing gets in my way
so I turn around and break down and cry.
I have been close enough to you lady
to kiss you dear for my high
Someone or thing gets in my way
so I turn around and start asking myself why.
Why did things have to turn out this way
and when I want to mow your grass it rains
Why can't you and I have our sunny day
like the ones who don't care about our pains.
I stay far away from you baby
that's not where I want to be
Someone or thing gets in my way
so I turn around and fall to my knees.
I would love to have my lady
for real and not a dream
Someone or thing gets in my way
so I turn around to look in the mirror at me
Things didn't have to turn out this way
and I use to mow your grass after the rains
Why can't you and I have another sunny day
I'm so sorry for not caring about our pains.
