Writer(s): Sam Smith, Matthew Prime
He could be a sinner or a gentleman
He could be a preacher
When your soul is damned
He could be a lawyer
On a witness stand
But he'll never love you
Like I can can
He could be a stranger
You gave a second glance
He could be your trophy
Of a one night stand
He could have your humor
But I don't understand
‘cause he'll never love you
Like I can can can
Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart
And the salt of the soul
There may be lovers
Who hold out their hands
They'll never love you
Like I can can can
They'll never love you
Like I can can
A chance encounter of circumstance
Maybe he's a mantra keeps your mind entranced
He could be the silence in this mayhem
But then again he’ll never love you
Like I can can can
Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart
And the salt of the soul
There may be lovers
Who hold out their hands but
They'll never love you
Like I can can can
They'll never love you
Like I can can
They'll never love you
Like I can can can
We both have demons that we can't stand
I love your demons like devils can
If you're self seeking an honest man
Then stop deceiving
Lord please
Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart
And the salt of the soul
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but
They'll never love you
Like I can can can
They'll never love you
Like I can can
They'll never love you like
I can can can
