[verse]
Get a load of me, get a load of you walkin' down the street
And I hardly know you -it's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right -and I've got someone waiting too
What if this is just the beginning
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
[chorus]
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me -why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
[repeat intro]
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
[verse 2]
Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful
Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet, but my heads spinning
[chorus 2]
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me -why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
[bridge]
/
High enough for you to make me wonder where it's goin'
High enough for you to pull me under somethin's growin'
/
Out of this that we can control -baby I am dyin'

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

[chorus 3]
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me -why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
[repeat intro]
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
