I can mark time walk a straight line Grab a mad bull by the nose I can stand still on an ant-hill And not once get itchy toes But I can't get you to love me I just can't get you to love me
I can stand up put my hand up Where perhaps it shouldn't be I can go down to a hoe-down? Have one hell of a yippee! I can also if you must know Do whatever else I choose But I can't get you to love me I just can't get you to love me
All of my life I've been waiting And now that I've found it You know something's amiss Can't get you to love me...
I can tell tales hammer toe-nails Write a letter to the Queen I can easily and discreetly Be as charming as obscene
But I know one thing for sure I just can't get you to love me I just can't get you to love me More from Gilbert O'Sullivan
