I Can't Get Started
Uncharted Love: Bobby Short's Serenade to an Elusive Heart
Lyrics
I've flown around the world in a plane
I have traveled extensively around the world by plane.
I've settled revolutions in Spain
I have played a role in settling revolutions in Spain.
And the North Pole I have charted
I have successfully navigated and mapped the North Pole.
Still I can't get started with you
Despite my achievements, I find it challenging to connect with you romantically.
On the golf course, I'm under par
While playing golf, I consistently score below par.
Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star
The prestigious Metro Goldwyn company has invited me to star in films.
I've got a house, a showplace
I own a magnificent house, a showcase of luxury and success.
Still I can't get no place with you
Despite my accomplishments, I still can't make progress in winning your affection.
'Cause you're so supreme
Your exceptional qualities make it challenging for me to approach you.
Lyrics I write of you, I dream
I find inspiration to write lyrics about you because you are extraordinary.
Dream day and night of you
I daydream about you constantly.
And I scheme just for the sight of you
I plan and strategize just to catch a glimpse of you.
Baby, what good does it do?
Despite my efforts, I question the value of my pursuits.
I've been consulted by Franklin D
I have been sought for advice by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Greta Garbo has had me to tea
Greta Garbo, a renowned actress, has invited me for tea.
Still I'm broken-hearted
Despite these experiences, I feel heartbroken.
'Cause I can't get started with you
My romantic endeavors with you seem to be continually thwarted.
