Things ain't working out so very fine

I seem to be running out of time

I thought I'd won your heart

I thought I'd learned my part

But now I'm back at the start

Still learning my part

Learning my part.



Things ain't working out so very fine

You say I keep stepping out of line

Well all I did was say

"I like you every other way!"

Till now it seems I've broke her heart

I'm learning my part

Learning my part.



Things ain't working out so very fine

Things ain't working out so very fine.



I say "stay" and she just goes away

I say "bye for now" and she says "stay"

I smile at her and she says "why?"

I laugh and she begins to cry

I really don't know where to start

I'm learning my part

Learning my part.



Things ain't working out so very fine

Things ain't working out so very fine.



If I talk she says I talk too much

If I get too close she says "don't touch"

She says I waste my time

And then she says she's mine

I really don't know where to start

Learning my part

Learning my part.



Things ain't working out so very fine

Things ain't working out so very fine

Things ain't working out so very fine

Things ain't working out so very fine

Things ain't working out so very fine

Things ain't working out so very fine.
