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      'Cuz 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      'Cuz 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
