[Intro: Jesy Nelson & Jade Thirlwall]
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Verse 1: Jade Thirlwall & Jesy Nelson]
We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
[Pre-Chorus: Jesy Nelson]
But we know this, we got a love that is hopeless
[Chorus: Perrie Edwards]
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Verse 2: Jason Derulo]
When you're with him, do you call his name
Like you do when you're with me? Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down?
Or would you play it safe and stay?
[Pre-Chorus: Jason Derulo]
Girl you know this, we got a love that is hopeless
[Chorus: Perrie Edwards & Jason Derulo]
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Bridge A: Jason Derulo & Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
And nobody knows I'm in love with someone's baby
I don't wanna hide us away
Tell the world about the love we making
I'm living for that day, someday
[Bridge B: Jason Derulo & Jesy Nelson]
Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours, I'm yours
[Chorus: Leigh-Anne Pinnock with Jason Derulo & Jason Derulo]
Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that (I wish)
Why can't it be like that? (I wish) Cause I'm yours
[Chorus Reprise: Perrie Edwards with Jason Derulo & Jason Derulo]
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that (I wish)
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Outro: Jade Thirlwall]
Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Verse 1: Jade Thirlwall & Jesy Nelson]
We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
[Pre-Chorus: Jesy Nelson]
But we know this, we got a love that is hopeless
[Chorus: Perrie Edwards]
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Verse 2: Jason Derulo]
When you're with him, do you call his name
Like you do when you're with me? Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down?
Or would you play it safe and stay?
[Pre-Chorus: Jason Derulo]
Girl you know this, we got a love that is hopeless

[Chorus: Leigh-Anne Pinnock with Jason Derulo & Jason Derulo]
Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that (I wish)
Why can't it be like that? (I wish) Cause I'm yours
[Chorus Reprise: Perrie Edwards with Jason Derulo & Jason Derulo]
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that (I wish)
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Outro: Jade Thirlwall]
Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that
