2 Out of 3 Ain’t Bad
Meat Loaf Lyrics

Baby we can talk all night
We can keep chatting away for hours on end

But that ain't gettin us nowhere
But our conversation isn't solving anything

I told you everything I possibly can
I've already shared all my feelings with you

There's nothing left inside of here
There's no more emotions left for me to express

And maybe you can cry all night
Perhaps you can shed tears all night long

But that'll never change the way I feel
But that won't alter my emotions towards you

The snow is really piling up outside
The snow is accumulating rapidly outside

I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
I beg of you not to force me out of here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried my best to express my feelings

I tried to show you just how much I care
I attempted to demonstrate the extent of my love for you

I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
I'm exhausted from talking, and I've lost my voice from shouting

But you've been cold to me so long
But you've been unresponsive to me for a long time

I'm crying icicles instead of tears
I'm shedding frozen tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
All I can do is repeatedly communicate to you

I want you, I need you
That I desire you, and I'm dependent on you

But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
But there's no possibility I'll ever develop romantic feelings for you

Now don't be sad
Now don't feel dejected

'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Because although I can't love you, I still want and need you

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You won't locate treasure on a shore of sand

You'll never drill for oil on a city street
You won't discover oil on a city road

I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
I'm aware you're searching for a valuable gem in a pile of stones

But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom
But there's no fancy car concealed at the end of it all

Of a Cracker Jack box
Like a toy at the bottom of a snack box you get at a fair

I can't lie, I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
I can't deceive you, claiming to be something that I'm not

No matter how I try
Regardless of how much effort I put in

I'll never be able to give you something
I'll never be able to give you a particular thing

Something that I just haven't got
Because I simply don't possess it

There's only one girl I'll ever love
There's only one woman that I'll ever feel passionate about

And that was so many years ago
But that was a very long time ago

And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
But even though I know I'll never forget her

She never loved me back
The feeling wasn't mutual

Oh I know
I'm completely aware of that fact

I remember how she left me on a stormy night
I recollect how she departed on a tumultuous night

She kissed me and got out of our bed
She kissed me farewell and left our bed

And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
Despite my pleas and begging that she stays

She packed her bags and turned right away
She packed her stuff and hurriedly left

And she kept on telling me
And she kept on saying to me

She kept on telling me
She persisted to repeat

She kept on telling me
She continuously informed me

I want you, I need you
That she desired me and required me

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
But she was never going to fall in love with me

Now don't be sad
Now don't feel dejected

'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Because even though she didn't love me, she still wanted and needed me

I want you, I need you
That I desire you, and I'm dependent on you

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
But there's no possibility I'll ever develop romantic feelings for you

Now don't be sad
Now don't feel dejected

'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Because even though I can't love you, I still want and need you

Baby we can talk all night
We can keep chatting away for hours on end

But that ain't getting us nowhere
But our conversation isn't solving anything
