Well it's sad but true and some day it'll happen to you When your can do can't keep up with your want to I ain't never been much of a lover and it never really bothered me none With the whole world full of adorable women I figured I could catch me one But lately I've got a problem and I don't know what to do You see my can do can't keep up with my want to Well my want to wants me to do everything I used to do But my can do can't keep up with your want to I met a Dolly in a roadside tavern of the time and the place was right We had a table in the corner where the lights were low And the band was picking out of sight We were dancing to a fast little ditty but before I got half through I found my can do can't keep up with my want to Well my want to wants me to... Well it's sad but true...
