I Can't Get Started Songtext
von Nancy Wilson

I′m a glum one

It's explainable
I met someone
Unattainable life′s a bore
The world is my oyster no more

All the papers
Where I've led the news
With my capers
Now will spread the news
Shining light
Goes out
Overnight

I've flown around the world in a plane
I′ve settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But I can′t get started with you


I've been to Cap d′Antibes for the sun
I've ordered Chateaubriand for one
I know the words to Giotta
But it′s not with you

Ah, but when we met
How you elated me, pet
You devastated me, yet
Now you've deflated me, till
You′re my Waterloo

European papers only last spring
Called me a dish
Said I was fit for a king
If I can tempt His Highness
Then please explain this minus with you

To great museums
Great museums my oils have been lent
And I have figured out
I know where Judge Crater went
I have dined with Albert Schweitzer
But it just ain't right with you


No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I am in a daze
Yeah, yeah, mmm
That's certain, dear
I love your ways
You′re my Richard Burton, dear
Come on and raise
Your Iron Curtain, dear
And yeah, yeah
This one little cold war with me

Until I′m there
The opera won't start
And I am one of the few
I know the national anthem by heart
I am cheered by Sidney Poitier
So why′s it boo and not yay with you
And you and you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I believe I have been outsmarted
Can not get started with you
