I Can’t Get Started

Lyrics
[Verse 1] I've flown around the world in a plane I'm known from California to Maine With kings I've � la carted But can't get started with you [Verse 2] Around a golf course I'm under par And all the movies want me to star I've got a house, a showplace But I get no place with you [Bridge] You're so supreme Lyrics I write of you Scheme Just for a sight of you Dream Both day and night of you And what good does it do? [Verse 3] The market trembles when I sell short In England, I'm presented at court But you've got me downhearted 'Cause I can't get started with you [Interlude] I'm a glum on5, it's explainable I met som5one unattainable Life's a bore The world is my oyster no more All the papers, where I led the news With my capers, now will spread the news "Super Gal Is Punchy and Losing Morale!" [Verse 4] When I sell kisses at a bazaar The wolves line up from nearby and far Their methods I have charted But can't get started with you [Verse 5] The millionaires that I have turned down Would stretch from London to New York town The upper crust I visit But say, what is it with you? [Bridge] When first we met How you elated me Pet You devastated me Yet Now you've deflated me 'Til you're my Waterloo [Verse 6] Through beauty columns ask my advice Though I was "Miss America" twice Still you've got me outsmarted 'Cause I can't get started with you [Verse 7] The Himalaya mountains I climb I'm written up in Fortune and Time I dig the Fourth Dimension But no attention from you [Verse 8] There's always "Best regards and much love" From Mr. Deweyyou know, the Gov I'm there at every state ball But behind the eight ball with you [Bridge] Oh, tell me why Am I no kick to you? I Who'd always stick to you? Fly Through thin and thick to you? Tell me why I'm taboo [Verse 9] Good grief, I'm not exactly a clod Green Pastures wants me to play God! The Siamese twins I've parted But I can't get started with you
