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 want you)
I need you (I need you)
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad (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 that I'm 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
Well, there's only one boy that I'll ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get him out of my heart
He never loved me back
Uuuh I know
I remember how he left me on a stormy night
He kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged him not to walk out that door
He packed his bags and turned right away
And he kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
I want you (I want you)
I need you (I need you)
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad (don't be sad now)
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad (don't be sad now)
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
