I Can't Get Started Songtext
von Anita O’Day

I′m glowin', it′s explainable
I've met someone, unattainable
Life is a bore, the world is my oyster
No more

All the papers, where I read the news
With my capers, now we'll spread the news
Superwoman turns out to be
Flash in the pen

I′ve flown around the world in a plane
I′ve settled revolutions in Spain
And the North Pole I have charted
Can't get started with you

Up on the golf course, I′m under par
And, oh, the movies have asked me to star
I've got a house that is a show place
Can′t get no place with you


You're so supreme
Lyric I′d write of you, scheme
Just for the sight of you
How I dream, both day and night of you
And what good does it do?

In 1929, I saw short
Over in England, I'm presented at court
But you've got me so down-hearted
Can′t get started with you

When first we met
How you elated me, pet
You devasted me, yet
Now you deflated me
Tell you′re my Waterloo

I've sold my kisses in a bazaar
And after me, they have named a cigar
With kings and queens alacarted
Can′t get started with you
