I Can't Get Started
Uncharted Love: Nat King Cole's Odyssey of Longing
Lyrics
I've been around the world in a plane
I've traveled extensively by plane around the world.
Settled revolutions in Spain
I've been involved in resolving revolutions in Spain.
The North Pole I have charted
I've successfully navigated and mapped the North Pole.
But can't get started with you
Despite these achievements, I can't find success or connection with you.
And at the golf course I'm under par
I excel in golf, consistently scoring below par.
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
The prestigious 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 stunning showplace.
But can't get no place with you
Despite these achievements, I can't make any progress with you.
You're so supreme
You are exceptional and superior.
The lyrics I write of you
I write lyrics about you.
Dream, dream, day and night of you
I constantly 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
However, all these efforts seem futile.
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
I've been sought for advice by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Even Gabel had me to tea
Even Gabel, likely a notable figure, invited me for tea.
But now I'm broken hearted
Despite these experiences, I am now heartbroken.
Can't get started with you
I can't find a way to establish a connection or relationship with you.
You're so supreme
You are exceptional and superior.
The lyrics I write of you
I write lyrics about you.
Dream, dream, day and night of you
I constantly dream of you day and night.
Scheme just for the sight of you
I plan and scheme just to catch a glimpse of you.
But what good does it do
But what good does it do?
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
I've been sought for advice by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Even Basic had me to tea
Even Basic, likely another notable figure, had me over for tea.
But now I'm broken hearted
Despite these experiences, I am now heartbroken.
Can't get started with you
I can't find a way to establish a connection or relationship with you.
