Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

[Verse 1] Baby, we can talk all night But that ain't getting 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 that I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldn't make me leave here [Verse 2] 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 cryin' icicles instead of tears And all I can do is keep on tellin' you [Chorus] I want you, I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad, (Don't be sad cause) Cause two out of three ain't bad Now don't be sad, (Cause) Cause two out of three ain't bad [Bridge] You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach You'll never drill for oil on a city street I know you're lookin' for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hidin' At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box I can't lie, I can't tell you that I'm somethin' I'm not No matter how I try, I'll never be able To give you somethin', somethin' that I just haven't got [Verse 3] Well, there's only one girl that I will 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 Well, I remember how she left me on a stormy night Oh, 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 tellin' me She kept on tellin' me She kept on tellin' me [Chorus] I want you, oh, 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 Now don't be sad, cause two out of three ain't bad [Outro] Baby, we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere
