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'll 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 just kept 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
