I Can't Get Started
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in spain
And the north pole I have charted
Still I can't get started with you
On the golf course, I'm under par
Metro goldwyn have asked me to star
I've got a house, a showplace
Still I can't get no place with you
'Cause you're so supreme
Lyrics I write of you, I dream
Dream day and night of you
And I scheme just for the sight of you
Baby, what good does it do?
I've been consulted by franklin d
Greta garbo has had me to tea
Still I'm broken-hearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
