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 |
