Can't You See
Skatalites · In The Mood For Ska [2004]
Please don't break a heart in two
Can't you see, can't you see, that I love you so
And I'll never, I'll never, I'll never let you go
Squeze me baby, with all your might
Hold me baby, very tight
Can't you see, can't you see, that I love you so
And I'll never, I'll never, I'll never let you go
No matter what they say or do
I'll always be loving you
Want you to understand
You will always be my lovin' man (2x)
Can't you see that I love you
Please don't break a heart in two
Can't you see, can't you see, that I love you so
And I'll never, I'll never, I'll never let you go
No, I'll never, I'll never, I'll never let you go
