Two Out of Three Aint Bad — текст песни (nitty gritty dirt band)

Baby we can talk all night

But that aint gettin 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 I feel

The snow is really piling up outside

I wish you wouldnt make me leave here



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



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



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 coup de ville hiding at the bottom

Of a cracker jack box



I cant lie, I cant tell you something Im not

No matter how I try

Ill never be able to give you something

Something that I just havent got



Theres only one girl that Ill 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 just kept 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 need you

But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you

Now dont be sad

cause two out of three aint bad



Baby we can talk all night

But that aint getting us nowhere
