"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" is a love song performed by the American musician Meat Loaf in his solo career, preceded by "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" and followed by "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". It is a track off his 1977 album Bat Out of Hell, written by Jim Steinman. It reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a million-selling Gold single from the RIAA. "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" stands alone as one of his career signature tunes, still enjoying recurrent airplay. A music video was shot for the single and received significant airplay on television video programs of that day, a number of years before the conception of MTV. source: wikipedia.com Lyrics "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" written by Jim Steinman Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere I told you everything I possibly can There's nothing left inside of hereAnd maybe you can cry all night But that'll never change the way I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldn't make me leave hereI poured it on and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much I care I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout But you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tearsAnd all I can do is keep on telling you I want you I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach You'll never drill for oil on a city street I know you're looking for a ruby In a mountain of rocks But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box I can't lie I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not No matter how I try I'll never be able to give you something Something that I just haven't got There's only one girl that I will ever love And that was so many years ago And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart She never loved me back, ooh I know I remember how she left me on a stormy night She kissed me and got out of our bed And though I pleaded and I begged her Not to walk out that door She packed her bags and turned right away And she kept on telling me She kept on telling me She kep on telling me I want you I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere Before We Leave, Let's Check Out One More By Meat Loaf!!!
