He Ain't You

(album: I Love What Love Is Doing To Me / He Ain't You - 1977)

There's nothing wrong with this kissing
Or the sweet touch of his hand
I only know there's something missing
I guess I'll never understand

I close my eyes and I see you
Clear as I'm seeing you today
There's just no way he'll ever be you
And that's the price I have to pay

But he holds me tight when he finds me crying at night
I know he's doing the best he can
But he ain't you, babe
Sometimes it shows that he ain't you, babe
I think he knows that he ain't you, babe
No, he ain't you, babe

You always thought I'd be yours only
Like a fool, I let you down
Now I'm his and, ooh, it's lonely
Is it too late to turn around?

'Cause he holds me tight when he finds me crying at night
And I know he's doing the best he can
But he ain't you, babe
Sometimes it shows that he ain't you, babe
I think he knows that he ain't you, babe

No, he ain't you, babe
Sometimes it shows that he ain't you, babe
I think he knows that he ain't you, babe

No, he ain't you, babe
Sometimes it shows that he ain't you, babe
