Can't Do Both |
| Mr. & Mrs. Almost |
| I want to go to Spain |
| Had a double income life |
| I want to fight a bull |
| He worked every evening |
| And meet with my old flame |
| She had a nine to five |
| Behind a castle wall |
| The first year was so easy |
| And as we smoke Madeira |
| The second was alright |
| And drink our guitars |
| But it was halfway through the third year |
| You’ll pirouette beside me |
| When she turned to him and cried |
| And I’ll whisper to the stars |
| Looking out for you |
| Looking out for me |
| But I can’t do both obviously |
| Looking out for you |
| Looking out for me |
| But I can’t do both |
| They love to be together |
| I’ll go to the Chatham Islands |
| But now they hardly get the chance |
| Be the first to see the sun |
| She gives him a smile of welcome |
| And as I hang my washing out |
| And he leaves her a parting glance |
| I’ll watch the colors run |
| They said when they got married |
| And one day late in August |
| There will be no compromise |
| I’ll get your telegram |
| Now they burn down one side only |
| You’ll be my lie detector |
| That’s the story of our lives |
| I’ll be your radio ham |
| Looking out for you |
| Looking out for me |
| But I can’t do both obviously |
| Looking out for you |
| Looking out for me |
| But I can’t do both |
| Have you heard about the modern couple |
| They had everything |
| Their income was double |
| But now they’re losing sight of each other |
| They thought they had it all |
| But now they’re falling out of love |
| Looking out for you |
| Looking out for me |
| Looking out for you |
| Looking out for me |
| They thought they had it all |
| Now the writing’s on the wall |
| Their love is on the line |
| They’re running out of time |
| Can’t do both |
