Can't Think Straight Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

Hello, urh, is Mary there? (No)

Well, oh, if you see Mary, will you tell her I called?
Tell her that I love her, and I′m sorry, that's all
You see, we had our very first quarrel today
I got really angry and I slapped her face
Now I′m sorry, but what can I say?
I love her so much, I can't think straight

My name is Peggy and I know how you feel
Same thing that happened to you did to me
I was so upset, I couldn't sleep for a week
Finally, he called, boy, was I relieved
Now I′m sorry but what can I say
You love her so much, I can′t think
Love her much you can't think


What about people other than me?
What about those with nothing to eat?
How can I claim that life isn′t fair?
What a pathetic sight, I swear
If I could kick, I'd kick
Myself of course and if

Listen to me, look, I know what I′m saying
I'm sure Mary is as much to blame
Well, in that case
Why won′t she answer the phone?
Don't try and tell me she's not at home

I′m sorry, but what can I say?
I′m sorry, but what can I say?
We're sorry, but what can we say?
I love her so much, I can′t think

What are we doing? What have we done?
What in the world is going on?
Isn't it crazy looking so fine
Knowing that in as much time as it takes to make a drink
We could all become as
The dinosaur has nothing but extinct
And to top it all, I hear
That my rent is to be raised


So if you see Mary, will you tell her I called?
Tell her that I love her, and I′m sorry, that's all
And by the way, thank you for being so kind
If I′ve taken up too much of your time

I'm sorry, but what can I say?
I'm sorry, but what can I say?
We′re sorry, but what can we say?
I love her so much, I can′t think
I love her so much, I can't think straight
