Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Baby we can talk all night
 But that ain't gettin us nowhere
 I told you everything I possibly can
 There's nothing left inside of here
 And maybe you can cry all night
 But that'll never change the way 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 tried 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
 Now don't be sad
 'Cause two out of three ain't bad

 You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach 
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
 I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
 But there ain't no Coup de Ville Hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

 I can't lie
 I can't tell you 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

 There's only one girl that I will ever love
 And that was so many years ago
 And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
 She never loved me back
 Ooh I know 
I remember how she left me on a stormy night 
She kissed me and got out of our bed 
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door 
She packed her bags and turned right away 

And she kept on telling me
 She kept on telling me
  She 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
 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

 Baby we can talk all night
 But that ain't getting us nowhere
