Lyrics I Can't Get Started - Frank Sinatra, Gordon Jenkins

I Can't Get Started

I’m a glum one
It’s explainable
I met someone
Unattainable
Life’s a bore
The world is my oyster no more
All the papers
Where I lead the news
With my capers
Now will spread the news
Superman
Turns out to be flash-in-the-pan
I’ve been around the world in a plane
Designed the latest IBM brain
But lately
I’m so downhearted
'Cause I can’t get started with you
In Cincinatti
Or in Rangoon
I simply smile
And all the gals swoon
Their whims
I’ve more than just charted
But I can’t get started with you
O 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
Each time I chanced
To see Franklin D
He always said
Hi buddy to me
And with queens
I’ve a la carted
But I can’t get started
With you
