Baby we can talk all night <br />But that ain't getting us nowhere <br />I told you everything I possibly can <br />There's nothing left inside of here <br /> <br /> <br />And maybe you can cry all night <br />But that'll never change the way I feel <br />The snow is really piling up outside <br />I wish you wouldn't make me leave here <br /> <br /> <br />I poured it on and I poured it out <br />I tried to show you just how much I care <br />I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout <br />But you've been cold to me so long <br />I'm crying icicles instead of tears <br /> <br /> <br />And all I can do is keep on telling you <br />I want you <br />I need you <br />But there ain't no way <br />I'm ever gonna love you <br />Now don't be sad <br />'Cause two out of three ain't bad <br />Now don't be sad <br />'Cause two out of three ain't bad <br /> <br /> <br />You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach <br />You'll never drill for oil on a city street <br />I know you're looking for a ruby <br />In a mountain of rocks <br />But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding <br />At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box <br /> <br /> <br />I can't lie <br />I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not <br />No matter how I try <br />I'll never be able to give you something <br />Something that I just haven't got <br /> <br /> <br />There's only one girl that I will ever love <br />And that was so many years ago <br />And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart <br />She never loved me back, ooh I know <br />I remember how she left me on a stormy night <br />She kissed me and got out of our bed <br />And though I pleaded and I begged her <br />Not to walk out that door <br />She packed her bags and turned right away <br /> <br /> <br />And she kept on telling me <br />She kept on telling me <br />She kep on telling me <br />I want you <br />I need you <br />But there ain't no way <br />I'm ever gonna love you <br />Now don't be sad <br />'Cause two out of three ain't bad <br />Don't be sad <br />'Cause two out of three ain't bad <br /> <br /> <br />Baby we can talk all night <br />But that ain't getting us nowhere<br /><br />Ruby Mae Heard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-out-of-three-aint-bad/
