E
Can't wait for night to come
That's when the fun really begins
My band cools off when that day is done
And then I tuck myself in

Chorus:
E
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not too lonely
A                       E/G#
And I begin to realize, hey
A                               E
I can't have everything, everything
E
Why can't I?

Let's go make memories
Precious and temporary
Of all the people I meet
I want to take you all with me

Chorus:
It ain't no fun to be alone, well
But I was not too lonely
And I begin to realize that
Well, I can't have everything, everything
Oh, why can't I?
Or do I?

Jesus is waiting on me
Just as He always does
Something'll be comin' up
Just like it always does

Chorus:
It ain't no fun to be alone, yeah
But I was not so lonely
And I begin to realize that
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?

E
Why can't I?
Or do I?
Do I?
Ooh, do I?
Why can't I?
Oh, do I?
