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.
