I've flown around the world in a plane
I have traveled extensively around the world in an airplane.
I've settled revolutions in Spain
I have been involved in settling revolutions in Spain.
And the North Pole, I have charted

Still I can't get started with you

I've got a house, a showplace
I own an impressive house, a place that showcases my success.
Still I can't get no place with you
Despite my material possessions, I still feel a lack of achievement in my relationship with you.
'Cause you're so supreme
You are of the highest quality or excellence.
Lyrics I write of you, I dream
I create lyrics about you, and I often dream about you.
Dream day and night of you
I dream of you day and night.
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?
However, these efforts seem futile or without purpose.
I've been consulted by Franklin D
I have been sought for advice by Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Still I'm broken hearted
Despite these experiences, I am still emotionally distressed or disappointed.
'Cause I can't get started with you
I am unable to make progress or establish a meaningful connection with you.
