Two Out Of Three

Youll never find your gold on a sandy beach Youll never drill for oil on a city street I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But there aint no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box

Theres only one girl that I will ever love And that was so many years ago And though I know Ill 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 kept on telling me I want you I need you But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you Now dont be sad cause two out of three aint bad I want you

I cant lie I cant tell you that Im something Im not No matter how I try Ill never be able To give you something Something that I just havent got

And all I can do is keep on telling you I want you I need you But -- there aint no way Im ever gonna love you Now dont be sad cause two out of three aint bad Now dont be sad cause two out of three aint bad

I poured it on and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much I care Im tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout But youve been cold to me so long Im crying icicles instead of tears

Baby we can talk all night But that aint getting us nowhere I told you everything I possibly can Theres nothing left inside of here And maybe you can cry all night But thatll never change the way that I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldnt make me leave here

I need you But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you Now dont be sad cause two out of three aint bad Dont be sad cause two out of three aint bad Baby we can talk all night But that aint getting us nowhere
