Lyrics
You Can't Catch a Man
When I first caught his eye, he was sitting with friends.
As I made my way by, he looked at me again.
He asked for my name; and that's how it began.
But it's a one-sided game with a restless young man.
When I'm with him it seems like he's only half here.
When I tell him my dreams, I'm not sure that he hears.
I just can't understand why he's put up a wall.
Guess you can't catch a man who won't let himself fall.
You can't catch a man
Who won't let himself fall.
You can't seem to please,
You're never at ease
While you wait for his call.
I've done what I can
To give him my all.
You just can't catch a man
Who won't let himself fall.
I see cold winter nights huddled close by a fire.
When we turn down the lights and burn up with desire.
But this dream life I plan might be nothing at all,
If you can't catch a man who won't let himself fall.
You can't catch a man
Who won't let himself fall.
You can't seem to please,
You're never at ease
While you wait for his call.
I've done what I can
To give him my all.
You just can't catch a man
Who won't let himself fall.
No, you can't catch a man
Who won't let himself fall.
