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 that I'm 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 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.
Oh 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 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
