The Platters
I Can’t Get Started
[Intro]
(Do-do-do-do do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-wah)
[Verse 1]
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
Still, I can't get started with you
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-wah)
[Verse 2]
Around a golf course I'm under par
And all the movies want me to star
I've got a house, a show place
But I get no place with you
(Do-do-do-do-do)
[Bridge]
You're so supreme, lyrics I write of you
Scheme, just for the sight of you
Dream, both day and night of you
And what good does it do?
[Verse 3]
I've got my Jaguar ready to go
I've got a late date with Bridget Bardot
But you've got me downhearted
'Causе I can't get started with you
(Do-do-do-do-do)
[Bridge]
When wе first met, now you've elated me, pet
You've devastated me
Yet, now you've deflated me
Till you're my Waterloo
[Verse 4]
I've sold my kisses at a bazaar
And after me they have named a cigar
But lately, now I've smarted
'Cause I can't get started with you
(Do-do-do-do-do)
