Attainable Love

He's not eighteen, he's not twenty-five

He's closing in on forty, look at those eyes

He's searching for something, he can not describe

He's not unhappy, he's not satisfied

He falls in love with covers of slick magazines

With serious actresses on the screen

All are unattainable except in his dreams

Where his heart and his soul reside

'cause he is afraid of attainable love

Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up

All of his life he has resisted the tug

Of attainable love, attainable love

His dance card is full, he's so much in demand

He get's nervous when his partners try to hold his hand

He's got to keep his options open, he's that kind of man

The girls he cha-cha's with never understand

They wonder if he's gay but the truth is he's not

He just won't settle for whatever it is he's got

They want to Tango, he want's to Fox Trot

Don't even think about the can can, he can't can't

'cause he is afraid of attainable love

Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up

All of his life he has resisted the tug

Of attainable love, attainable love

Add me to the list of women

Who think you'll be different with me

Add me to the list of fools

Who flatly refuse to see that just like me

He is afraid of attainable love

Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up

All of his life he has resisted the tug

Of attainable love, attainable

He is afraid of attainable love

Afraid it will envelop and swallow him up

All of his life he has resisted the tug

Of attainable love, attainable

All of his life he has resisted the tug

Of attainable love, attainable love

All of his life he has resisted the tug
