Merle Haggard - Because You Can't Be Mine lyrics

What makes something you can't have always look so good Why'd do something out of reach seem so fine What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know I guess it's just because you can't be mine. Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me And be satisfied with what's already mine What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing I guess it's just because you can't be mine. What makes me always want a woman I can't have Why the someone else's silver always shine My patience rises every time you come around And I guess it's just because you can't be mine. Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me And be satisfied with what's already mine What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing I guess it's just because you can't be mine...
