Lyrics for Sam Smith – Like I Can
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, canHe could be a stranger, you gave a second glance
He could be a trophy, of a one night stand
He could have your humour, but I don’t understand cause
He’ll never love you like I can, can, canWhy 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
He’ll never love you like I can, can, can
He’ll never love you like I can, canA chance encounter of circumstance
Baby 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, canWhy 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
He’ll never love you like I can, can, can
He’ll never love you like I can, can, can
He’ll never love you like I can, can, canWe both have demons, that we can’t stand
I love your demons, like devils can
If you’re still seeking an honest man
And stop deceiving Lord pleaseWhy 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
He’ll never love you like I can, can, can
He’ll never love you like I can, can, can
He’ll never love you like I can, can, can
