Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad Lyrics

 (Jim Steinman)

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

And may be you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tired to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad

Youl never find your gold on a sandy bech
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby 
in a mountain of rocks
Byt there ain't no Coupe de Ville 
hiding at the bottom
of a cracker jack box

I can't lie
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able
To give you something
Something that I just haven't got

Well there's only one boy that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I'll never get him out of my heart
He never loved me back
ooh I know



Well I remember how he left me 
on the stormy night
He kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and begget him 
not to walk out that door
He packed his bag and turned away
And he kept on telling me,
He kept on telling me,
He kept on telling me

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

I keep on telling you,
I keep on telling you,
I keep on telling you

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad
