I Can't Get Started
Love's Struggle: A Journey of Unrequited Dreams
Lyrics
I've been around the world in a plane
I've traveled extensively in a plane around the world.
Settled revolutions in Spain
I've witnessed and experienced revolutions in Spain.
The North Pole I have charted
I've explored and mapped the North Pole.
But can't get started with you
Despite these achievements, I can't make progress in a romantic relationship with you.
And at the golf course I'm under par
I excel at golf, consistently scoring below par.
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
The renowned film studio Metro-Goldwyn wants me to be a star.
I've got a house and a show place
I have a luxurious house and a showplace.
But can't get no place with you
Despite these material successes, I can't make any progress with you.
You're so supreme
You are exceptionally wonderful and superior.
The lyrics I write of you
I write lyrics about you.
Dream, dream, day and night of you
I dream of you day and night.
Scheme just for the sight of you
I plan and scheme just to catch a glimpse of you.
Baby but what good dose it do
Despite my efforts, it doesn't seem to have any positive effect.
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even influential figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt have sought my advice.
Even Gabel had me to tea
Even Gabel, possibly a reference to someone important, has invited me for tea.
But now I'm broken hearted
Despite these experiences, I am currently heartbroken.
Can't get started with you
I can't make progress in a romantic relationship with you.
You're so supreme
You are exceptionally wonderful and superior (repeated).
The lyrics I write of you
I continue to write lyrics about you (repeated).
Dream, dream, day and night of you
I dream of you day and night (repeated).
Scheme just for the sight of you
I plan and scheme just to catch a glimpse of you (repeated).
But what good does it do
Despite my efforts, it doesn't seem to have any positive effect (repeated).
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even influential figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt have sought my advice (repeated).
Even Basic had me to tea
Even someone named Basic has invited me for tea.
But now I'm broken hearted
Despite these experiences, I am currently heartbroken (repeated).
Can't get started with you
I can't make progress in a romantic relationship with you (repeated).
