Can't Have Me
Music and Lyrics by Dave Barta



I took the long way home again
Tried to call you on the phone
"Please leave a message" don't help me much
With getting on alone
Well, I'm not much for sharing time
But I tried it just for you
Seems like every thing gets harder
Around you

You sound the same, you know the words
You can walk away
Beneath your smile, you're somewhere else
And I know it's not the same
Hope you like the things he buys
Just tell him what you need -
He'll give you almost anything Baby -
But now...You can't have me

He will choose the things you do
And how you spend your time
He can dress you up for the world he knows
And the shinny cars he drives
You can tell me it's just a phase
And everything is fine
You can get anything you want
Without me-

I watched you laugh then turn away
As if you couldn't see
I thought of things you could have said
Now it's all the same to me
All the same

(guitar lead and keys)

You sound the same, you say the words
You can walk away
Beneath your smile you're somewhere else
And I know you're not the same
Well, hold on to what you found
And you tell him what you need
You can have almost anything baby
But now -
You can't have me
You can't have me
No, you can't have me
