But you've been cold to me so long 
           D                 E 
I'm crying icicles instead of tears

'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 


C#m 
I cannot lie 
C#m                           D 
I cannot tell you that i'm something I'm not 
D 
No matter how I try 
C#m 
I'll never be able 
C#m 
To give you something 
A                             B 
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 


 
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 

D                  E 
And she kept on telling me 
She kept on telling me 
She kept on telling me 




CHORUS 
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 

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