I Can't Get Started
Unattainable Heights: Melissa Manchester's Quest for Love
Lyrics
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've traveled extensively by plane around the world.
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 explored and mapped the North Pole.
Still I can't get started with you
Despite my accomplishments, I can't establish a connection or relationship with you.
On the golf course, I'm under par
In golf, I consistently score below par.
Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star
The famous film studio Metro Goldwyn has invited me to star in their productions.
I've got a house, a showplace
I have a luxurious and impressive home, a showplace.
Still I can't get no place with you
Despite all this, I can't make any progress or win your affection.
'Cause you're so supreme
You are of the highest quality or excellence.
Lyrics I write of you, I dream
I compose lyrics about you, and I dream about you.
Dream day and night of you
I dream about you day and night.
And I scheme just for the sight of you
I make plans or plots just to catch a glimpse of you.
Baby, what good does it do?
However, these efforts seem futile or pointless.
I've been consulted by Franklin D
I've been sought for advice by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Greta Garbo has had me to tea
The legendary actress Greta Garbo has invited me for tea.
Still I'm broken-hearted
Despite all these experiences, I am still heartbroken.
'Cause I can't get started with you
I can't initiate or make progress in a relationship with you.
