Lyrics

But I Can't
© MHC 2026

[Verse 1]
I could trace the length of your legs real slow
Drizzle warm honey, take my sweet time below
Lick it from your skin till you start to sigh
Caress every curve by the soft candlelight
I'd feel every inch, make your body ignite
Run my hands all over you through the night

[Chorus]
But I can't
You've got someone and I've got someone too
But I can't
Quit my mind from wandering back to you
Every dream I have keeps pulling me in deep
To all the things I'd do, all the secrets I would keep
But I can't
Lord, I can't

[Verse 2]
I could lay you down, place strawberry slices slow
Crown your peaks with whipped cream, watch the sweetness flow
Trace a mandarin slice where my lips want to be
Taste every sweet drop, girl, you'd melt into me
I'd spend all night finding every little thing that makes you smile
Every single inch of you so beautifully worthwhile

[Chorus]
But I can't
You've got someone and I've got someone too
But I can't
Quit my mind from wandering back to you
Every dream I have keeps pulling me in deep
To all the things I'd do, all the secrets I would keep
But I can't
Lord, I can't

[Bridge]
My mind keeps painting pictures I can't erase
Your smile, your skin, the warmth of your embrace
Make you laugh, make you sigh, make you feel alive
Every little thing I'd do just to watch you thrive
These thoughts are beautiful and cruel at the same time
A life I can't touch but I keep living in my mind

[Outro]
You've got someone
And I've got someone
And that's the way it's gotta stay
But God, the things I'd give
To spend just one sweet day
But I can't...
No, I can't...
I just can't
