The Temptations
Why Can’t You and Me Get Together
[Intro]
Why can't we get together? [x4]
You and me!
[Chorus]
Why can't you and me get together?
What I wanna know is
Why can't you and me get together?
[Verse 1 - Richard Street and Glenn Leonard]
It seems I see you everywhere I go
At the beach
The show
And even at the disco
But every time I get close to you
You get away
Oh, yes you do
So I came to the tennis court
Because i heard that you love the sport!
Why can't you?
[Chorus]
Why can't you and me get together?
What I wanna know is
Why can't you and me get together?
You and me!
[Verse 2]
Tennis court
I don't know the sport
The game I came to play is of a different sort
But if i have to play to get next to you...
I brought a racket and two brand new tennis shoes
See what you made me do for you
Now won't you let me get
Next to you!
[Chorus]
Why can't you and me get together?
What I wanna know is
Why can't you and me get together?
[Bridge]
Why can't we get together? [x3]
You and me!
[Verse 3]
Now there's a method to my madness
And the crazy way that I come on
You look so good so I
I had to meet ya
Just to let you know where I'm coming from
The tennis court is a funny place to start
I came to let you know you've captured my heart!
[Chorus]
Why can't you and me get together? (right now baby!)
What I want to know is
Why can't you and me get together? (a-right now! a-right now! now! now!)
Why can't you and me get together?
What I wanna know is
Why can't you and me get together?
[Outro]
Why can't you, and me, together [x3]
