I Can't Get Started
Uncharted Longing: Jackie Gleason's Quest for Love
Lyrics
I've flown around the world in a plane
I have traveled the world in an airplane.
I've settled revolutions in Spain
I've played a role in settling revolutions in Spain.
And the North Pole I have charted
I've successfully navigated the North Pole.
Still I can't get started with you
Despite my achievements, I am unable to make progress with you.
On the golf course, I'm under par
On the golf course, I consistently score below par.
Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star
Metro Goldwyn, a prominent film studio, has invited me to star in movies.
I've got a house, a showplace
I have a luxurious house, a showplace.
Still I can't get no place with you
Despite all this, I can't make any progress with you.
'Cause you're so supreme
Because you are exceptionally outstanding.
Lyrics I write of you, I dream
I compose lyrics about you, and you are my dream.
Dream day and night of you
I dream of you day and night.
And I scheme just for the sight of you
I make plans just to catch a glimpse of you.
Baby, what good does it do?
Yet, what benefit does it bring?
I've been consulted by Franklin D
I have been consulted by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Greta Garbo has had me to tea
Greta Garbo, a famous actress, has hosted me for tea.
Still I'm broken-hearted
Despite these experiences, I am still heartbroken.
'Cause I can't get started with you
I am unable to make progress with you, and it saddens me.
