My Can Do Can't Keep Up With My Want To

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...
