How Can It Be Songtext
von Jeffrey Lewis

How? How can it be?
How can it be you still love him and not me?
Does it really add up mathematically?
How? How can it be?

Because I′m thinking of how I made you laugh
And I'm thinking of the love that we had
And I′m saying it's a matter of time
How long till you remember your mind
It don't make it true just cause its where you′ve been sighted It don′t make it true just cause its what you've decided
Oh its a logic that wrong
Why are you there for so long?
I just can′t see nothing else
Except from you and myself

How? How can it be?
How can it be you love him and not me?
Does it really make sense logically?


And does it really make you happy to see?
That now I'm with someone beautiful and cool
And she seems to think the world of me too
And we′re laughing as we stroll down the street
Until I'll take her to the joint where I eat
Why are here now in my restaurant
And you′re with the only one that you want
So I wont be eating here
Anywhere else I fear
And the girl that on my arm is gonna have to see tears
More tears

Because I see her face and it's still my own
How can I ever think of something that's gone
It′s just a fact that we′re a match that make sense
I'll go insane if you still claim we′ll be friends
And I know you think I'm crazy
And the world thinks it too
But I′m not crazy it's just dumb to be alive without you
I know you love is what you love is what you love his family
But is that really any reason to love him instead of me?
I can′t see
Oh how can it be?
And does it really add up mathematically?
Or should I say it more emphatically
Consistently or sporadically?
Oh is it really just the way it will be?
