I Can't Get Started
Uncharted Desires: Rod Stewart's Odyssey in 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 been involved in resolving conflicts or uprisings in Spain.
The North Pole I have charted
I've mapped or explored the North Pole.
But I can't get started with you
Despite all this, I'm unable to start or initiate a meaningful relationship with you.
And at the golf course I'm under par
I perform exceptionally well in golf, scoring below the expected level.
And in Hollywood they wants me to star
In Hollywood, there's interest in casting me as a star.
I've got a house and a show place
I possess luxurious homes and impressive properties.
But I can't get no place with you
Despite all these achievements, I cannot make progress in my relationship with you.
You're so supreme
You are exceptional or outstanding.
The lyrics I write of you
The words I write about you.
Scheme just for the sight of you
I plan solely for the chance to see you.
Dream, both day and night of you
I constantly imagine and desire you, both during the day and at night.
But what good does it do
But my efforts or feelings seem futile or useless.
In nineteen ninety-nine, I sold short
In 1999, I made a financial bet on a decline in value.
In England, I'm presented at court
In England, I was introduced or presented formally at court.
Yeah you've got me so down-hearted
You've deeply saddened me or made me feel despondent.
'Cause I'll never get started with you
Because I'll never be able to initiate a relationship with you.
You're so supreme
You are exceptional or outstanding.
The lyrics I write of you
The words I write about you.
Scheme just for the sight of you
I plan solely for the chance to see you.
Dream, both day and night of you
I constantly imagine and desire you, both during the day and at night.
But what, what good does it do
But my efforts or feelings seem futile or useless.
I've been consulted by Hilary C.
I've given advice or been in the company of influential figures like Hilary C.
And Tina Turner had me to tea
Even Tina Turner has hosted me for tea.
But now I'm broken-hearted
Now, I feel heartbroken or distressed.
'Cause I can't get started with you
Because I cannot start or initiate a relationship with you.
Yeah I'm broken-hearted
Expressing deep sadness or distress.
'Cause I can't get started with you
As I cannot begin a relationship with you.
