Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm a glum one, it's explainable
I met someone unattainable
Life's a bore, the world is my oyster no more
All the papers where I led the news with my capers
Now will spread the news
Superman turned out to be a flash in the pan
[Verse 2]
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The north pole I have charted
But I can't get started with you
[Verse 3]
Around the golf course I'm under par
And all the movies want me to star
I've built a house and showplace
But I can't get no place with you
[Verse 4]
You're so supreme
Lyrics that I write of you scream
Just for a sight of you and I dream
Both day and night of you, and what good does it do?
[Verse 5]
In 1929, I sold short
In London I'm presented at court
But you've got me downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
[Verse 6]
You're so supreme
Lyrics that I write of you steam
Just for a sight of you and I dream
Both day and night of you, and what good does it do?
[Verse 7]
In 1929, I sold short
In London I'm presented at court
But you've got me downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
With you
