Baby we can talk all night
|
But that ain't gettin us nowhere
|
I told you everything I possibly can
|
There's nothing left inside of here
|
|
And maybe you can cry all night
|
But that'll never change the way I feel
|
The snow is really piling up outside
|
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
|
|
I poured it on and I poured it out
|
I tried to show you just how much I care
|
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
|
But you've been cold to me so long
|
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
|
|
And all I can do is keep on telling you
|
I want you, I need you
|
But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
|
Now don't be sad
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
Now don't be sad
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
|
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
|
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
|
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
|
But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom
|
of a Cracker Jack box
|
|
I can't lie, I can't tell you something I'm not
|
No matter how I try
|
I'll never be able to give you something
|
Something that I just haven't got
|
|
There's only one girl that I'll ever love
|
And that was so many years ago
|
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
|
She never loved me back
|
Ooh I know
|
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
|
She kissed me and got out of our bed
|
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
|
She packed her bags and turned right away
|
|
And she kept on telling me
|
She kept on telling me
|
She just kept telling me
|
I want you, I need you
|
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
|
Now don't be sad
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
|
I want you, I need you
|
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
|
Now don't be sad
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
|
Baby we can talk all night
|
But that ain't getting us nowhere
|
